troops in Egypt. His spy planes were scouting the skies
over Alexandria and the Suez Canal. Jasper led a group
of experts known as the Magic Gang, whose job was to
fool the German aerial spies.
They built a copy of Alexandria harbour in a
nearby bay so that the Germans wouldn’t bomb the
real Alexandria. They made fake buildings, a phoney
lighthouse, even fake anti-aircraft guns, which gave
off impressive flashes to make the attackers think they
were being shot at. Revolving mirrors near the Suez
Canal made huge spinning lights so that German
bombers couldn’t find the Canal.
Jasper Maskelyne’s biggest success was in 1942,
when the Germans were expecting a British attack
but didn’t know where or when it would happen.
The Magic Gang built 2000 fake tanks from painted canvas and wood, while one thousand real British tanks
were somewhere else, disguised as trucks. The Magic
Gang also built a false railway line, which the Germans
thought was to transport troops. German pilots also
saw the British busily building a (fake) water pipe, as
if to supply the troops along the way. From what they
could see, the German commanders were certain the
British wouldn’t be able to attack before November.
They were wrong. The British attacked in late October
and from an unexpected direction. Thousands of
German soldiers died and the German campaign in
Africa was wrecked. Jasper Maskelyne helped to change
the course of World War II.
Jasper Maskelyne told his story in a book called
Magic: Top Secret, but after the war there was no longer work for a stage magician. He died years later in Kenya.
CRACKING THE CODE: ENIGMA
Spies send messages in code so the enemy can’t read
them. Cracking codes was a key part of the war effort
