Ghost Army unit used rubber guns and dummy tanks in WWII deception
Sergeant MacChesney recalls the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops nicknamed the Ghost Army. The unit used inflatable rubber guns and tanks with sound effects to mislead German forces, landing in Normandy shortly after D Day and later operating with the Ninth and Fifteenth Armies. The ruse helped Allied operations and saved lives, though much remains classified or unspoken.
