The role of paratroopers (Airborne Troops) was to create a 3rd dimension in warfare, and a 3rd Front (Front, Flank, and Rear). The paratroopers were dropped BEHIND enemy lines. The fortunes of war may have allowed some men to land on enemy lines, and/or the enemy lines were fluid (mobile) and they moved to that position, or US/Allied intelligence missed those positions, and didn't plan for them (didn't know they were there).
Germany's final attempt to break the allied lines was at the battle of the bulge where the Germans went on the full offensive to regain their land but failed.
Paratroopers used butterfly knives in ww2 to cut away their parachutes lines.
The Battle of Arnhem occurred during World War II by accident. Some paratroopers from the Allied Forces were supposed to land miles away from this location, but the wind made it impossible and the paratroopers landed in the middle of German forces.

The planners wanted to disrupt the German defenses by dropping paratroopers behind the lines and capturing bridges and road intersections. They had selected several targets that were important and would help the infantry landing on the beaches to advance in-land. Also, the planners expected a 75% casualty rate among the paratroopers so they wanted to drop enough to get the job done.
Paratroopers were landed behind the lines, but it was mainly troops being landed on five different beaches.
