View show details

An army that didn’t exist…somehow helped win World War II.

In this episode, we dive into the bizarre and brilliant story of the Ghost Army, a top-secret unit of artists, designers, and sound engineers who used inflatable tanks, fake radio traffic, and theatrical deception to fool the Nazis on a massive scale.

From the beaches of D-Day to the banks of the Rhine, their illusions redirected entire German divisions and likely saved thousands of lives.

Hosted by history teacher turned podcaster, Nick Charlie Key (host of The Fantastic History of Food).
