secrecy-and-security

In this chapter set in Kent, April 1944, Ernest and Cess deal with the aftermath of deploying fake tanks as part of a deception strategy against German reconnaissance. They encounter a farmer and his bull, who charges and seemingly 'kills' one of the inflatable tanks, revealing the absurdity and risks of their operation. Despite the physical and environmental challenges, including fog and rain, they successfully conceal the fake tank before preparing for an important event involving the Queen.
