  • Resumen

  • Hello and welcome to World War 2 Stories. I'm your host, Steve Matthews. Today we're diving into one of the most unusual and creative military units in American history – a secret force that fought with paintbrushes and inflatable tanks rather than bullets and bombs. I'm talking about the Ghost Army, a tactical deception unit that used Hollywood-style trickery to fool Hitler's forces and save countless Allied lives.

    Imagine this: It's 1944, and German reconnaissance planes report seeing thousands of American troops amassing near the front lines, complete with tanks, artillery, and all the bustle of a major military force. German commanders redirect their resources to counter this threat, only to be blindsided when the real attack comes from an entirely different direction. What those German observers didn't realize was that they'd been fooled by rubber tanks, sound effects, and a small group of artists putting on the performance of their lives.
