Before the actual D-Day invasion by Allied forces, the British had made fake soldiers, tanks and boats out of simple materials like straw, wood and rubber- and even announced fake radio messages about fake operations concerning FAKE military units, which German spies were happy to eavesdrop and get back as valuable intel.
This made the Germans send their strongest troops and Panzer units to Calais to intercept an invading force that they found out was never a threat at all, which resulted in crafty and evil Hitler to become so paranoid that he refused to deploy any troops along that area, making the Normandy landings slightly less defended by German troops.
