I have run into the following interesting pictures from the North Africa theatre. Here is the source blog and the specific post.

This is a Crusader, I guess, disguised as a truck: (link):



A Churchill:(link):



And a Grant: (link):

I'm sorry, I honestly don't know why some of the pics are not shown properly. The URL in embedded HTML is correct. So I at least added a direct links to the remote pictures (which also seems to be displayed in bigger/original size).

these were diguised to confuse recce planes and the luftwaffe, although i believe the figters would more likely strafe trucks unless equipped with the cannons?

Monte's trick at El Alamain AFV's were made to look like trucks and moved south, trucks and dummies were used up north to look like AFV's to draw the German armor. Rommel ended up attacking the wrong direction.

The same thing was used in SE England before D-Day to lead the German recon into thinking that the main attack was at Calais.

The html code was messed up. To see what it should look like, click on the "reply with quote" button.
Additionally, the badwidth may be getting exceeded.

Nice photos

better that they strafe a tank made to look like a truck, which won't take much damage, than a supply truck, which will be destroyed!

Really? You think some 20mm cannons firing at high RPM wouldn't be a bit of a problem against the usually-thin top armour of a Brit tank? I wouldn't want to be in that tank, that's for sure.
