In 1967 the soviets doctored satellite imagery to show a build up of Israeli forces on the Syrian border - it triggered a war (which would have happened anyway but it happened sooner because of this)

Interesting. I had never heard of it. Then again, I went to public school so that could be why.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
I knew of this effort having read about it. Biggest problem with the invasion was keeping Rommel's troops up near Calais until the Allies had enough troops in France. What I did not know was that they were used later in the war when the Allies were driving into Germany. I would NOT want to face a Tiger or Panther under any circumstances and especially with an inflatable tank. Definite ballsy.
