I'm just surprised that they Germans did not invest more in radar decoys in the Bay of Biscay to keep the air patrols on a goose chase.

I know they tried the hydrogen foil balloons cut lose from subs, but I'm surprised they did not just routinely air-drop thousands of them into the Bay of Biscay. Watch the Allies swoop down on nothing all day and night long.
