 PLOT: After the nerve gas attack on Fort Knox and the surrounding  area, Goldfingers Grand Slam task force is seen driving past  numerous bodies of soldiers apparently dead on the ground. In the  storyline, the soldiers are only pretending to be dead in order to  lure Goldfingers task force to the Depository. While soldiers  pretending to be dead might fool Goldfingers people, presumably  they would notice that stray dogs, birds, squirrels and other  wildlife would still be very much alive, indicating that the nerve  gas attack had been ineffective.
