The Nazis Built Entire Fake Cities From Wood. The Allies Saw Right Through Them.

The Nazis knew Allied bombers were coming. So they built fake cities to fool them.
Entire fake airfields were constructed with meticulous care — wooden hangars, oil tanks, gun emplacements, trucks, and aircraft. All made from wood.
They even rebuilt Stuttgart's main railway station as a full decoy replica in a nearby village just to redirect the bombs.
By 1944, British intelligence had catalogued over 300 of these German decoy sites.
But the Allies weren't fooled. According to multiple eyewitness accounts, pilots found wooden bombs the next morning stamped with the words "Wood for Wood."
War has a dark sense of humor.
