Well, tranport models were nearly identical to early bombers. Unfortunately, those models have mostly been put out of commision with the advent of the more advanced German bombers (the older models were phased out during the Spanish Civil War).

My belief is that Paratroopers are best used like they were by the Allies later in the war. To disrupt enemy activity, in preparation for an incursion. Britain is in a bad spot in the beginning stages of the war ... her only safety is the navy, however, once German troops are on the island, it is unlikely they will be able to do much. The main problem would be supply, however, it could be disguised as a part of the Air War ... namely, some bombers drop supplies while others bomb the hell out of the British airbases.

The main problem is convincing German High Command of the plan. Goring might object, prefering a scare bombardment tactic (which he did use, and which failed). Hitler might be more open, if the plan is properly presented as bold and likely to add Britain to the Reich ... we might have a chance. Other commanders are more likely to see the advantages.
