I have to confirm the first post of Oberon. After all, silence does not matter since more than 50 years have passed:

Similar experiments have been conducted by the Luftwaffe in the Greek Aegean sea. The codename of the Operation was Himmel Donnerschiffe "Thunder-ships from the sky", also known as the Convoischlag Blitz "Lightning Instant Convoys", where small tankers (full with diesel) were transported by air means and dropped to their destination.

But if I'm to disclose additional information, I'm afraid I'll have to kill you.
