Didn’t the allies use a lot of inflatable “tanks” parked in England to convince the Germans that Patton would be leading the “real” D-day invasion at someplace other than Normandy.
I listened to some podcasts about this very group. Famous names in Hollywood and London, who started in this secret Army group that built lifelike sets to fool the Germans.
Saved huge numbers of lives. Churchill’s idea, of course.
It would take some digging for me to find the podcast right now, but its out there and well worth listening to.
Fascinating, fascinating stuff.
