I think it’s not a fake tree, as in, one day you wake up and there’s a new tree stump in that trench over there. More that they hollowed it out and shored it up to act as an observation post
I did some minor googling, turns out they would sketch an existing tree, build a replica, then replace it in the middle of the night. Also from this one source sounds like they didn’t snipe from it, just for observation. https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-journey-of-the-camouflage-tree
Was this actually used or is this a concept? Seems like artillery would clear it out pretty quick, even if the enemy didn’t know what was inside.
