The General They 'Fired' How Patton’s Ghost Army Paralyzed 15 German Divisions Without a Single Tank

Описание: Discover the incredible true story of how General Patton's "Ghost Army" paralyzed 15 German divisions without firing a single shot. This is the untold history of Operation Fortitude—the greatest military deception of World War II.

While Allied forces stormed Normandy on D-Day, over 200,000 German soldiers sat frozen at Calais, waiting for an invasion that would never come. They were watching for George S. Patton and his massive army group. There was just one problem: Patton's army didn't exist.

In this video, you'll learn about:
The rubber tanks that fooled Hitler's intelligence
How 1,100 artists and engineers created a phantom army
Why the Germans kept their strongest forces away from Normandy
Patton's role in the war's most audacious deception
The sonic and radio tricks that paralyzed German decision-making

Operation Fortitude used inflatable tanks, fake radio chatter, and double agents to convince Nazi Germany that the real D-Day invasion would strike at Pas-de-Calais. The deception was so successful that Hitler held back his reserves for over five weeks after the Normandy landings.

This documentary reveals declassified details about the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops—the Ghost Army—whose secret remained classified until 1996. These men saved thousands of Allied lives through creativity, not violence.
