When radar was still classified, Brits claimed they could see the planes because they are a lot of carrots.
It didn’t fool the axis, but civilians in Britain kind of believed it.
It’s hard to tell, they’re always saying something with a wink and a nod.
They might not have known what radar was, but they knew no amount of carrots made that big of difference, it’s not like the English had never ate carrots before.
Well, let’s face it… the Brits were really good at spreading this kind of propaganda - people in my own family bought into this “carrots help your night vision” stuff even back in the 80s.
I mean, if Biritsh propagandists are to be believed you’d think they were the only people on the planet to ever think of building an airplane out of wood…
