In 1944, the Allies created an entire phantom army to fool Hitler—and it worked.
Before D-Day could succeed, the Germans had to be looking the wrong way. Operation Fortitude was the most elaborate military deception in history: inflatable tanks, fake radio signals, turned spies, and a fictional army group commanded by General Patton himself.
The Germans saw exactly what the Allies wanted them to see—a massive invasion force gathering to strike at Calais. Meanwhile, the real invasion fleet prepared to hit Normandy. The deception was so convincing that even after the landings began, Hitler kept his strongest divisions waiting for an attack that would never come.
This is the untold story of the artists, intelligence officers, and double agents who fought an invisible war with rubber tanks and phantom radio transmissions. They created an army that existed only in German imagination—and in doing so, they saved countless lives and changed the course of World War II.
