True/false: before d-day, the allies placed dummy equipment along the coast of britain to convince the germans that the allies planned to land their invasion forces in pas-de-calais

This is true. This was a part of Operation Fortitude, also known as operation bodyguard, where the idea was to divert the attention of the Nazis from Normandy so as to have the Allied forces enter Normandy more freely. The second place that was a diversion was in Norway that was under German occupation at the time.

Good luck : )
