Yeah, I've read Werner's book, which was why I mentioned the balloons.
How expensive would it have been to deploy decoys in the Bay of Biscay?
How expensive was it to keep losing u-boats and crews?
Of course hindsight is 20-20, but given how they were getting their asses handed to them in the bay and they knew it, and they knew that AAA was ineffective, you think they would have put more effort into the decoys.
I did not know about the Thetis device, though - thanks for the link.
