'Window' (Radar Chaff): WWII's Secret Weapon

Blinding Enemy Radar

Blinding enemy radar with Chaff, known variously as “Window”, “Duppel,” or “Giman-shi” during WWII, consists of small strips of metal foil deployed from aircraft to blind and confuse enemy radar. It proved devastatingly effective against German air defenses during the war and is still carried by military aircraft to this day.
