During World War II, a hand-picked group of American GI's undertook a bizarre mission: create a traveling road show of deception on the battlefields of Europe, with the German Army as their audience. The 23rd Headquarters Special Troops used inflatable rubber tanks, sound trucks, and dazzling performance art to bluff the enemy again and again, often right along the front lines. Many of the men picked to carry out these dangerous deception missions were artists. Some went on to become famous, including fashion designer Bill Blass. In their spare time, they painted and sketched their way across Europe, creating a unique and moving visual record of their war. Their secret mission was kept hushed up for nearly 50 years after the war's end.

| User ReviewJames LI consider myself to be very well informed regarding World War II history...and yet I had never previously heard about the Ghost Army 23rd Division...so well was it kept secret, that for 40 years nobody other than high ranking military officials and those who were a part of the secret division , knew of its existence. The documentary provides incredible detail and interviews from those who were there...and it's without question, the best World War II documentary I've seen. 4 Stars |
| User ReviewTim FInteresting doc about artists in the military during World War II, and how they were used. |
