In 1940 , the British government implemented a network of decoy sites to mislead German bombers away from strategic targets.

The sites were designed along German radio beam paths to protect key industries, including Shelton Iron and Steel Works , Michelin Tire factory, and Radway Green munitions plant.

Decoy sites successfully displaced up to 5% of German bombing efforts.
