Presumably the Japanese never got the clever idea to fly over during the shift changes.

I would imagine they were careful to make it look like the normal comings and goings of a town at rush hour.

Oh... but... but didn't all the cars just sort of disappear when they parked under the camouflage tent thing? Maybe I'm just not seeing it right... brain's not functioning very well these days due to a) having a cold and b) it being really cold here. :-p

Ahh no, if you look at the pics further down, you can see that the buildings were covered in sections, that roads were left uncovered. Don't forget, they wouldn't have had the ability to take the detailed aerial photos we're used to now, nor would they be able to flyover very often or very low. It wouldn't have fooled anyone who had time to hover above it and study it, I imagine, but then it didn't have to :)

Ah, I see now! I swear, this cold I've got interferes with all my cognitive functions. :-p
