Mythical X Army Helped Win Meuse Argonne Victory
A wartime ruse devised by American junior officers created the imaginary X Army to mislead German forces east of Verdun. Aimed at keeping five fresh German divisions in place along the Etain front, the scheme used wireless and fake dispatches to simulate a real unit, convincing the enemy not to weaken the Meuse Argonne offensive.

X Army's Clever Deception Flusters German Forces Near Verdun
In Fresnes sector American troops staged a misdirection using a Conflans sheet demand and a fake network plan to mislead German observers about a looming drive on Briley Ron center. A parallel telephone operation simulated quiet chatter to lure enemy ears, with wires grounded for German listening. By armistice day the ruse kept a French position near Verdun under cover while five German divisions guarded a phantom threat.
