The Secret Balloon Army of WWII

Ever heard of a top-secret army made out of balloons? Meet the Ghost Army from WWII!

This wasn’t your typical military unit. Imagine artists, actors,

and sound engineers using inflatable tanks, booming loudspeakers, and fake radio signals

to outsmart the Nazis. Sometimes just a few hundred of them fooled the enemy

into believing there were tens of thousands of troops. These creative masterminds likely saved over

30,000 lives. And here’s the twist—this mission was so undercover, the world didn’t learn about it until

50 years later. Pretty genius, right? Want to uncover more forgotten war

secrets like this?
