Was this the fake outfit eventually assigned to Gen George Patton to fool the Germans that the invasion was at the Pas-de-Calais?

I think so. They made the fake rubber tanks and put in a field in some part of England far away from where the invasion target.

One and the same. Patton was part of the deception. The unit was not assigned to him. They worked directly for general Bradley.
