The Story
During World War II, a 1,100-man unit known as the Ghost Army was sent to Europe with an important mission: mislead Hitlerâs forces as to the size and location of Allied troops so that those troops would have time to carry out urgent plans of their own.
This unit of artists, musicians, actors, architects, set designers, and engineers came together to construct âshadow soldiersâ and put on a traveling show of deception for over twenty different campaigns throughout the war, using everything from fake radio transmissions to inflatable tanks to convince the enemy of their presence.
