Thought this was interesting.
Just doing some more reading and I came across something I wasn't familiar with the use of the Fieseler Fi 156 Storch as an airmobile platform in numbers. I remember OKW landing mountain troops in Ju-52s at enemy secured airfields but the only time I recall was Skorzeny's raid to get Mussolini out and back to Germany. I was surprised to find many used as airmobile platforms to take road intersections and other behind the lines tactically important areas due to its stol capabilities. Of course this was early in the war and Germany had air superiority.
