crete gun emplacements, barbed
wire and tank traps were placed

Camouflage Amazes
Camouflage was employed to
its fullest advantage and was
productive of some surprising
effects. Hundreds of men de­
ployed over the field in carefully
concealed gun positions and fox
holes gave observers no visible
evidence of their presence.
A
group of spectators gathered
near a 105 mm howitzer were

was the camouflage that only the
firing of the weapon revealed its
position.
Virtually every type of weapon

From time to time, waves of
infantry seemed to rise out of the
ground, which in fact most of them
did. skillfully pursuing their as­
signed missions.
All operations were pronounced
successful. The “enemy” was rout­

As a finale, the men and weapons
