Hidden Sides of History

Discover the top-secret U.S. Army unit that used creativity and illusion to outsmart the enemy. In over 20 operations, an unlikely team of artists, designers, and sound engineers deployed inflatable tanks, fake radio chatter, and sound effects to deceive German forces about the size and location of Allied troops.
