I want to know the answer to the following question:
Why were decoy towns used in WW2
All the background I'm provided with is that "Burning bales of straw soaked in creosote were used to simulate the effects of incendiary bombs dropped by the first wave of Pathfinder night bombers; meanwhile, incendiary bombs dropped on the correct location were quickly smothered, wherever possible.". Is that enough to answer the question?
