Fair play, in the middle of the horror of war, that was some class comedy put into action 😂
Ngl, if this happened to my army I would instantly put a bullet in my hea… wait a moment
So many innocent trees lost their life for this joke.. RIP.. God have mercy on their souls..
Special branch helped out, before they twigged that the root of the problem was sapping their tree-mendous abilities
Not a bomb, just a strong suggestion to do better
Great bomb banter
>Ach du Scheiße
Seems rather idiotic to tell the Germans their fake airfield is known. Mark it on the map, and allow them to use resources to keep up the facade.
Reminds me of the tricks we used to catch the Germans and Italians off guard at the 2nd Battle of El Alamein we used fake supply trucks to make the Germans think we were weeks away from being ready to attack they believed it so much Rommel had actually returned to Germany for his wife’s birthday and he was shocked to learn that while he was on the plane his forces had just been smashed by Montgomery
There was an alternate timeline where this escalated, and wars became a back and forth on who can do the best prank with fake weapons. Instead, we got the shitty time line where the children somehow got into positions of power and got their hands on real weapons.
Being that guy sorry..
Its an urban legend. Popularised by the Goon Show of the 1950s. They were as popular as modern soap dramas in the day.
One of Spike Milligans recurring jokes when a story was set in the war was how the lead character would attempt to fool the Germans by building a cardboard airfield etc and the the Germans would attack their cardboard airfields with cardboard bombs. Considering they popularised many words we use in our speech ( such as lurgy) its no surprise that these jokes and stories were passed on via word of mouth and a retold even today.
There is NO evidence that the event in this meme happened what so ever.
Should have dropped multiple, would have been funnier
That’s not a fake wooden bomb. It’s a fake-fake wooden bomb, actually a Mark VI wooden float light
Thank god they didn’t waste one of their real wooden bombs

As a German I must admit that this is very funny
