Was this the fake outfit eventually assigned to Gen George Patton to fool the Germans that the invasion was at the Pas-de-Calais?

I think so. They made the fake rubber tanks and put in a field in some part of England far away from where the invasion target.

I learned this from Paul Harvey's "Rest of the Story" series more than 25 years ago. Read about eventual fashion designer, Bill Blass' involvement in the design and deployment of the greatest fake (until that time) in history. A strategy used during the run-up to the Allies' invasion of Normandy.
