Rare Pictures of the Ghost Army That Duped the Nazis during World War II

 

was a United States Army tactical deception unit during World War II officially known as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops. The 1,100-man unit was given a unique mission within the U.S Army: to impersonate other U.S. Army units to deceive the enemy. From a few weeks after D-Day, when they landed in France, until the end of the war, they put on a "traveling road show" utilizing inflatable tanks, sound trucks, fake radio transmissions and pretence. They staged more than 20 battlefield deceptions, often operating very close to the front lines.

 

Although Us Brits thought of it first Mind!

The French version ended with them all sharing the gold after the coach driver got them down the mountain without taking his hand off the horn or the Gauloise from his lips....
