À propos de ce produit

Product Information

In 1942, the U.S. began to form a handpicked army to fight in Europe. What made it different is that its troops were composed of artists, actors, meteorologists, and sound technicians, and their true mission was not to fight, but to deceive the German army. Information about the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops was classified top secret until 1996. Following the declassification, Jack Kneece interviewed many of the key personnel involved in this elaborate ruse, including fashion designer Bill Blass. Until the bombing of Pearl Harbor, many Americans were opposed to becoming involved in the war in Europe, and the military was ill-prepared to fight, with only 130,000 enlisted troops and equipment left over from World War I. One solution was to create a special force that gave the illusion of 30,000 heavily armed men. In fact, there were only 1,000. German soldiers referred to them as the "Phantom Army," because one moment they were in one place, and the next, they were attacking their flanks or from the rear. This small army duped the Germans successfully in 21 separate operations during World War II, many of which took place within a few hundred yards of the front lines.

I received a notification at the last moment (when the book was due to arrive) that the book was out of stock. Not fair posting this on eBay if it didn't exist.

  • Unbeatable history lesson!

    Fascinating story! I never had heard about this until recently, and am amazed at how this "ghost army" was able to pull off so much to make the enemies think there were more troops around than there were! How brilliant is that? So glad whoever thought this up was so successful in fooling the Nazis and probably saving thousands of lives! Heroes, ALL of them!!!

  • Ghost Army of World War II

    After the bombing of Pearl Harbour are several German accounts of a so-called "Phantom Armies" that seemed to appear and disappear out of nowhere causing chaos for the German soldiers and essentially aiding the Allied victory. However, none of these musing were ever taken seriously, particularly because the United States government never announced that any sort of special "distraction" forces ever fought in World War II. Then, in 1996, top secret information was declassified that the sole purpose of the Twenty-third Headquarters Special Troops of the United States Army was indeed acts of deception intended to mislead and deceive the German Military. These men were aptly nicknamed the "Ghost Army". For over fifty years, the over one thousand men who served with the Ghost Army as virtual ...
