Meanwhile wasn’t there a story about the Germans building a decoy airfield with wooden airplanes and other things to look convincing and then when they finished the Allies sent a single fighter bomber to drop a single wooden bomb decoy on the runway?
I’ve definitely heard variations of that story! I don’t remember the exact details, but I do remember that the basic idea (that a wooden bomb was dropped to mock wooden Nazi decoys) was backed up by several reliable post-war accounts.
