The last couple of days have highlighted Allied food-drops over Holland. Bombers flew low and slow and dropped food, but without parachutes, because those were scarce (wartime shortages, again). Incredibly, a few hapless civilians were struck and killed by those falling food cartons.
I hate that outcome, too. What was that line from Band of Brothers? What's not to like about this country, everyone speaks English and they love us!
Another problem that hasn't come out in these threads is that the Dutch resistance was completely penetrated. Almost every agent the British dropped into Holland was immediately apprehended.
