Did you know ?

That as part of the Overlord D-Day plan….

In Operations ‘Taxable’ and ‘Glimmer’, the RAF dropped metal strips – codenamed ‘Window’  along the French coast to confuse German radar.
On the night of 5-6 June, as part of Operation ‘Titanic’, the RAF dropped dummy parachutists to simulate an airborne invasion and draw German forces away from key objectives.

Metallised strips of paper known as ‘Window’ caused confusion on German radars.
