During the Second World War, the Germans were trying to bomb the Suez Canal to stop the flow of arms and food to the Mediterranean and Allied troops in Europe. The Allies were able to keep the Germans from reaching the Canal during the day, so the Germans bombed at night.
Every night.
And the Canal could be closed off with just one successful bombing run.
What the British had to do was come up with a way to protect the Canal on an ongoing basis.
Every night.
For years.
And it worked!!!
What did they do?
They made the canal disappear!
How?
Every night the British would turn off every light on the Suez Canal. Then, two miles away, in the desert, they turned on strings of lights to recreate the canal.
Night after night the Germans bombed a Suez Canal that only existed as strings of lights in the desert.
