Ghost Squadron Patch Stickers
Main Tag:
Description: The Ghost Army was a US Army tactical deception unit during World War II officially known as the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops. The unit was given a unique mission: to deceive Hitler's forces and mislead them as to the size and location of Allied forces, while giving the actual units elsewhere time to maneuver. Some of the tactics the Ghost Army created were deceptive inflatable tanks, fake airfields, and complex sound effects. Their story was kept secret until it was declassified in 1996.
