The plane dropped 24 Fox-containers. There were only 9 men to receive the drop, as quite a few people had been taken by the Germans at the barricades, and others were unable to get through. The reception was completed, but all materials were seized by the Germans the next morning before the trucks were able to load the containers. At the last minute, the group received a warning and managed to escape.
