The Ghost Army: Conning the Third Reich by Gerry and Janet Souter
Throughout the course of World War II, Allied Forces engaged in elaborate deceptions to fool Hitler's armies. A ragtag group of Bohemian artists and creatives was assembled to devise these strategies, including rubber dummy tanks, faux railway lines, and falsified wireless intelligence. They made armies appear out of thin air, baffling German forces and ensuring Allied success in battle. For fifty years, information on the Ghost Army strategies was classified. It is only recently that details of their heroic actions have come to light. The Ghost Army brings to life the fascinating stories of the men and women who conned Adolph Hitler.
