Apollo 11 took place at the height of the cold war, you can bet the Russians tracked it every inch of the way to the Moon, if it had been fake Pravda would have massive headlines screaming "Fake!" About 400,000 engineers and technicians can keep a secret for 50 years?? A lunar orbiter has taken pictures of the landing sites showing the remains of the LEM and tracks from later moon rovers, Retro reflectors on the surface?
And the USSR had plenty of widely separated tracking stations already in use for their own space program.
