Eventually, the planes started to drop more than food and heating oil. At some point, the pilots saw kids and returned with something for them. Those men came to be known as "the candy bombers." They dropped candy for the children in their supply bags

In Germany, have gone down in history as the "Rosinen-Bomber" (the "raisin bombers").
