On July 24, 1943, the United States and Great Britain launched Operation Gomorrah, a seven-day-long attack on Hamburg, Germany, that destroyed much of the city and killed more than forty-two thousand German civilians, yet resulted in unusually few Allied casualties. The mission was successful in part because airmen in the bombers threw strips of paper that had been coated with aluminum paint out of the planes. This new decoy system, code-named chaff, so confused German radar that it cut the usual rate of downed aircraft by two-thirds.Donald Trump has long deployed what might be called the chaff approach to evading legal scrutiny in his business dealings. Parts of his labyrinthine business holdings seem to be likely targets of investigation. He was sued for civil fraud over promises made to students of Trump University (a case that was settled after Trump became President).
