How Britain Turned Construction Scaffolding Into Fake Anti-Aircraft Batteries

When Luftwaffe reconnaissance pilots photographed London's defences in 1940, they counted dozens of heavy anti-aircraft batteries bristling with guns. What their cameras couldn't reveal? Nearly half were scaffolding poles wrapped in painted canvas. For less than £70,000, Britain created 812 fake AA positions that fooled German intelligence, absorbed 8,700 tonnes of bombs meant for real targets, and forced the Luftwaffe to waste over £1 million in munitions attacking empty fields. This is the brilliant story of how theatre props and construction materials became one of WWII's most cost-effective defensive weapons—proving that in aerial warfare, what the enemy thinks you have matters just as much as what you actually have. #WW2 #BritishHistory #MilitaryDeception #Blitz #LondonBlitz #BattleOfBritain #Luftwaffe #MilitaryHistory #WWII #WarStories
