French Camouflage: Pop-Up WW1 French Soldiers

[Erik de Bruin]

Halen we de begrippen "camouflage" en "misleiding" misschien niet door elkaar?
Camouflage gaat om het "verdekken" van bestaande voorwerpen. Daar kan inderdaad een stukje misleiding in meespelen (bijvoorbeeld de tank die met houten schotten tot boerenschuurtje wordt vermomd, iets wat ik tijdens mijn dienstplichttijd in Duitsland nogal eens toepaste).
Misleiding is het iets uit niets maken om de vijaard te laten denken en reageren zoals jij wilt (bijvoorbeeld die papier-maché koppen)

Bij het Belgisch leger bestaat de camouflage uit twee onderdelen, namelijk :t simmulatie en dissimulatie.
Het eerst wil zeggen dat men de vijand laat geloven dat er iets is en het tweede is net het tegenoversgestelde.
Beide dienen ze voor misleiden van de vijand.

Bij de Britten heette dit een Chinese attack. Voor wie liefhebber is van onderscheidingen, ik weet nog een mooie Military Medal te koop staan for Bravery in the field bij deelname aan zo'n stunt.


182 Great War London Cyclist Company "A Chinese Attack" 1917 Military Medal
Nice condition George V Military Medal for bravery in the field awarded to "13466 L Cpl W W Brown 18/c.c Bn Army Cyclist Corps". This MM was awarded for "A Chinese Attack", better known to the British TOMMY’S as a "Dummy Stunt", that took place on the 25th September 1917 near Poperinghe. The action listing lance corporal Brown is described in the history of the 60th London Division Army Cyclist Company. On this day the cyclist had been trained in the use of wooden silhouette dummies of british soldiers, which were designed to draw the enemy’s fire making them think they were facing a major attack. Crawling out into no mans land under the cover of darkness the dummies were arranged in small groups, the operators a short distance away holding rope, to pull them upright. Following the British bombardment the dummies were pulled upright and along with their operators received twenty minutes of heavy enemy artillery and machine gun fire with many of the dummies being destroyed. The effect of this attack was confirmed by a captured German soldier that reported very heavy casualties from bombardment on the front lines as they fired at the dummy attackers. Four men received the MM for gallantry on this day.
£ 495.00
