Profiles the virtually unknown 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, an elite, thousand-man "ghost army" that helped win the Battle of Europe and fought in more campaigns than any other unit in the European Theater of Operations. ...consisting of a group of American artists, designers, writers, and electronics and sound engineers--including fashion tycoon Bill Blass, This book tells the fantastic story of the guys in World War II who staged elaborate campaigns of deception to confuse the Axis powers. The "deception division" included famous folks like movie star Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (who was one of the leaders) and Bill Blass, the future fashion designer. The secret soldiers did everything from writing and performing scripts for fake radio traffic, to impersonating top military personnel, to building, setting up, and moving entire fake battalions complete with rubber tanks and balsa-wood planes. A brave, reckless, and imaginative bunch who deliberately put themselves in harm's way to protect the "real" soldiers, and yet had to keep all they did a secret for decades. Highly recommended. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
