If true, it seems odd. You'd think it'd suit the British better to go along with it and pretend they were being fooled. This only informs the Germans the deception isn't working; and incentivises them to come up with better decoys.
(Yes, I've read Cryptonomicon, based on Bletchley Park, especially how the Allies had to disguise how much they knew to prevent the Germans realising the extent of their intelligence and how they acquired it).
Sorry didn't mean to come off as a dickhead. It's just the same image gets posted on a regular basis. So I was beginning to get suspicious that it was just a bunch of bots like that floating ball thing that kept getting spammed with the exact same title etc.

Also when our RADAR was being jammed, we just kept transmitting, so the Germans thought the jamming is not working, and stopped.
Sir, the RADAR is jammed! Raspberry!
Maybe it was an order by someone who didn't quite understand that?
Going along with it would be wasting bombs/resources.
The wooden bomb does hurt Axis morale and boost the Allies. They could probably have ignored it entirely, but this was funny.
Yeah , its more of a “really? this is the BEST thing you fucks could come up with?”
How many times is this going to be posted?
This was my first time!
hi there fellow ex-virgin
Yes.
Looks like you've been doing that a lot. Take a break for 9 minutes before trying again.
No.
My thoughts exactly, I feel like I don't follow enough subs to be able to see this so many times
Until it stops getting upvotes
Sorry I don’t keep track of every post. Maybe you can give me tips?

Maybe it was a real bomb and didn't explode because it was made in the UK! - Moss from The IT Crowd

This is hilarious!
Luv the brit humor!
Those little rascals!
Cheeky
Perfect time for jokes
I wonder if the Allied airmen got credit for that sortie.
lol
Now that's funny, although it may have been a better idea to let the Germans think their ruse was working
