Is there any REAL evidence that these sites were effective?

An area designed to fool the enemy into thinking they've found their target and dropping their bombs where minimum damage will be done.

Decoys were built for airfields, factories, docks, towns and other strategic locations. Lots of good reports and info within this section of the bulletin board.
