The Ghost Army WWII's Secret Weapon #americanhistory #usa #facts #history#ww2 #germany #japan#india

During World War II, the U.S. Army created a top-secret unit called the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the "Ghost Army." This unit, composed of artists, actors, and sound engineers, used deception tactics to fool German forces. They created fake military installations, inflatable tanks, and trucks, and used loudspeakers to simulate the sounds of large troop movements. The Ghost Army’s operations helped mislead the Germans about Allied troop positions and plans, particularly in the lead-up to D-Day. This unconventional approach to warfare saved countless lives by diverting German forces away from actual Allied movements.
