In 1944, the U.S. Army deployed the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops with a unique mission: not to fight, but to deceive. Armed with inflatable Sherman tanks, massive speakers playing recorded troop movements, camouflage artists, and radio spoofing equipment, they carried out over 20 large-scale deception operations near the front lines.

This video examines the engineering, design, and psychological tactics behind the “Ghost Army.” How did 1,100 artists, illustrators, sound engineers, and set designers convince the German High Command that they were a force of more than 30,000 men?
