The Ghost Army (DVD, 2013) PBS

Description: during World War II, a handpick group of American GIs undertook a bizarre mission: create a traveling roadshow of deception on the battlefields of Europe, with the Nazi German army as their audience. The US 23rd headquarters, special troops used in inflatable rubber tanks, soundtracks, and dazzling performance art to bluff the enemy again, and again, often ride along the front lines. This little known units knack for trickery was crucial to allied success in World War II, but their top-secret mission was kept quiet for nearly 50 years after the wars end. Archival footage and dozens are still photographs, paintings, and sketches created by soldiers, the ghost army tells the extraordinary story of these incredible battlefield illusions and the talented young men, mini recruit from art schools across the country, use their creativity to ultimately save lives.
