Wacky War Tactics in a Nutshell

Комедия

Military tactics have been tried and tweaked over the centuries to develop some pretty sound strategies, but every once in a while an individual with a more zany mind comes up with some rather peculiar plans. Join me as we take a stroll down history lane and reminisce on shenanigans past! We've got everything from lingerie clad pigeons to masquerading battleships, so sit back and enjoy the show!

    CORRECTION: As some have pointed out, Bob the Builder is in fact British, not American. Honestly when I was writing that line I didn't think to google Bob's nationality, my silly Americentric brain just assumed all the great things came from America. But Bob is a point for the Brits, you win this round, but just know I'm throwing out all my tea now.

    There was also that time when the Soviets mined Finland during the Winter War. The bombs they used were triggered by radio on a certain chord. But the Finns didn't have sophisticated equipment to disarm bombs, so they played Sakkijjarven Polkka over and over, on as many fucking frequencies they could. It genuinely worked.

    My granddad smuggled weapons for the resistance in Denmark. One day he went to pick up some in another town that he was going to hide in a violin case, when he was at the train station with his violin case a German officer stopped him to inspect the case and he had actually brought his violin so he took it out and played him a a song that the German enjoyed, then he went to pick up the weapons at the other town and had planned his trip so the same officer would be there when he got home. So when he left the train at the station that officer stopped the soldiers going to inspect him and told then that he already knew that he just had a violin in there, not knowing that my granddad was carrying SMG parts in the case.

    A tale in my City (actually not to far from Rothenburg) says that when it got besieged in 1379 they were about to be starved out. But in a last desperate attempt they packed together all the dough they had, to bake things looking like a round W (maybe representing a ass to mock the besiegers). The citizens started throwing it at the enemy, laughing and taunting them while the obese Mayors wife showed the besiegers (I'm not kidding) her arse. The attackers were demoralized by that, as like intended they thought the city had tons of supplies, since they can just throw it at them, and left. So yeah it worked

    During WWII, some US military leaders proposed equipping bats with incendiary devices and letting them loose over Japanese cities, in the hopes that they would take shelter in wooden structures and cause fires. The thinking is that they would be more unpredictable than a typical bombing campaign and harder to defend against.

    One of my favourite wacky war tactics has to be Dazzle camouflage. For those that don't know what Dazzle camo is a ship camouflage invented back in World War I by the British, which consists of painting a ship with optical illusions made of contrasting colors so it would be hard for the enemy to know the ship's range, speed, and heading.

    Actually, the plan to train seagulls to point out periscopes worked okay! They sailed dummy periscopes up and down the Firth of Forth (as I recall) with food attached. The seagulls learned that a periscope meant free lunch and swarmed in vast numbers each time. They didn’t stop when you removed the food, so from the shore you just watched for flocks of gulls diving the surface and you knew exactly where every enemy submarine was. (However, they also came up with “indicator loops”: lengths of cable on the seabed which caused an induced current when a magnet (submarine) passed over, detected by a galvanometer ashore, so Edinburgh seagulls stopped getting free lunches and have been diving tourists with pokes of chips ever since.)

    Just to add something about the Cap Trafalgar VS the Carmania, that both ships had been outfitted with guns as Merchant Raiders. Both of them had been outfitted with heavy guns, but obviously being passenger ships, had no armour. As a result, the fight between them was brutal in the extreme, with both ships just pounding away at one another with artillery and machine guns, causing horrific casualties and massive fires on both ships, which the surviving crew had no chance of putting out. Really, this was one of those fights where No One won in the end

    WWII Britain: so we can magnetize the mine before sticking it to the German ship, but how will we delay the detonator? -well, the peppermint lasts exactly 1 hour in water. -We'll have to protect the arming device against water, a condom should do the trick." And that's how the surrounding region ran out of candy and condoms. And some German ships were sunk by magnetic mines.

    Condoms were used by COPPists (a group that became part of the SBS) to waterproof kit such as signalling torches used in convert beach surveys. The RAF were famous in their use of contraceptives; put them over aeroplane cannons as "protection" to ensure that Jerry gets a proper seeing to.

    I read in a psychology textbook once that a guy named skinner wanted to help the us military during world war 2, so he devised pigeon guided missiles: the pigeons sat in a sort of "command center", with gold electrodes on their beaks. A screen in front of them would show the outside of the ship. They were trained to recognize enemy vessels on the screen and peck at them, which would fire a missile when the electrode contacted the screen. They'd also occasionally receive a treat to reinforce the behavior.

Kinda became pointless when modern guided missiles were invented. Not to mention it required the birds to be on board. All that training for a suicide mission that PETA would have a field day with. I suppose the video would be a lot longer if you covered all wacky war tactics. I just like that one.

    But they developed this to something which remained useful! You reward with food a pigeon which pecks an orange dot shown on a clear bowl. Then you put it in an air sea rescue plane in a bubble window and it pecks when it sees an orange life raft. I think the RAF used this for ages.

    I think the craziest (confirmed) war tactic I've heard of was a successful 1 man vs (small) army that sounds like something straight out of folklore: the governor of a moderate sized town in china successfully bluffed his way through an enemy army that showed up while their entire militia was off dealing with something else: he got word of it the night before and had solid reason to believe that surrender wasn't a workable option (army had a reputation) and decided that the best way he ha left to deal with the problem was to bluff, the next morning saw him begin his day by plopping himself down on top of the front gate first thing in the morning with his tea set and...I think it was a guzheng? (I might be mixing the real up with the fictional stuff that stemmed from it on the instrument in question) and playing music and taking tea all day while waiting for them to show up, when they eventually approached he didn't do anything in particular or make any sort of threatening gesture he just sat there calm as can be and continued playing music until they addressed him, he introduced himself all proper-like, invited the commander to pleasantries, and calmly told him to leave, he apparently either did an _excellent_ job selling the scene or something else had happened on the side of the invading army because having the only visible defender acting so utterly nonchalant about having a literal invading army ~10 paces from their front gate freaked the _hell_ out of the commander of said army and he called a retreat as fast as he could politely get through a formal "hello goodbye" sequence. all the rest I can think of are interesting cases of particularly clever/crazy/bizzare ways of convincing opposing forces that they had way more people than they actually did and/or had reinforcements incoming...one of those might make it into the "wacky tactics" category since the as-far-as-they-knew _completely_ fictional reinforcements actually showed up down to the when, where, who, why, and even roughly right on how many.

    Unfortunately, the story about the Empty Fort Strategy is probably fictional. In Chinese folklore, Zhuge Liang, the chancellor of the third-century state of Shu-Han, is said to have defended the city of Xicheng by bluffing just as you described, scaring Sima Yi, the enemy commander, to the point that he ordered a full retreat. Nevertheless, despite the fact that this display of genius was fictional, Zhuge Liang was a highly capable leader historically, and his name is still synonymous with intelligence in modern Chinese culture. As it stands, though, Sima Yi may have proved to be more successful than his foe, as his son conquered Shu-Han in 263, and his grandson would unite all of China under the Jin dynasty by 280.

    @@stevencarnegie2800 that might be one of the folklore instances, as far as I know it became something of a meme to the point where it's honestly pretty hard to believe that the "confirmed" story isn't just a story someone recorded as having actually happened. I _did_ do a quick check that the factions involved at least existed back when I read this but I doubt I did more than that and it's been so long I can't even remember names. ...preeeeety sure I would have just outright assumed it was bullshit if the name was someone so common in folklore that I recognized the name from dynasty warriors though. this particular telling was at the front gate of a small but well established town, one of those kinds of places that has been around forever but has no reason to grow past it's current size. shennanigans as to whether or not a fortification has people in it are more a japanese thing as far as I know (not that I'm remotely an expert) at least in terms of stuff that actually happened: lots of convincing invaders a fort is full when it's on a skeleton crew or inviting a disastrous attack on an "understaffed" fort or just straight up letting them take it and setting the entire fortification on fire or flooding it.
