[Mgs] Price Of Two 6 Volt Batteries

[Dodd, Kelvin]

Paul:

Sorry to go way off subject.  : )

I was referring to the rubber tanks assembled as part of Fortitude
South, the build up of fake military material intended to give the
impression that the D Day landing site would be the Pas de Calais.

It's arguable whether it was effective, but there is some humorous
footage existing showing soldiers picking up inflatable tanks and
tossing them around.
