In order to deceive Nazi Germany about the real target of the D-Day invasion, the Allies dropped literally tons of aluminium foil strips (then codenamed “Window”, now known as Chaff) from aircraft to create the appearance of a large fleet moving across the English Channel towards Calais on German Radar screens just before the actual invasion started
