1- Crete and Yugoslavia (Crete saw Germanys first and Last use of Para troopers during WW2)
2-The Marianas (ie.,Tinian,Tarawa,Gaum Saipan)
3-China & Burma (Look up Merrills Marauders for an interesting Story!)

Answer 2

1. First, the "German conquest of Greece" was a rescue mission. Italy had invaded Greece, but they were losing. So Germany sent in troops to assist their ally. So the invasion was facilitated by the italians taking most of the rest of the Balkans first.

3. The Allied attacks against Japan on the mainland were launch through Burma.
