The Ghost Army
Conning the Third Reich
Souter & Souter. Throughout the course of World War II, Allied forces engaged in elaborate deceptions to fool Hitler's armies.

They made armies appear out of thin air, baffling German forces and ensuring Allied success in battle. This title includes details of the First US Army Group (nicknamed the 'Ghost Army'), the 23rd Camouflage Engineers, and accounts from double agents who risked their lives to mislead Nazi High Command. 256 pages, 6"x 9", softcover. #111807 $14.95

A: M26 Pershing – “Alles Kaput,” 18th Tank Battalion,
Legends of Warfare
General Patton was prevented from receiving needed supplies that would have ended the war nine months earlier and halted the Russian invasion of the Eastern Bloc, as well as Stalin's murderous rampage. Why was he fired as General of the Third Army and relegated to a governorship of post-war Bavaria? Was he a threat to Eisenhower, Montgomery, Churchill, and Bradley? And is it possible that the General's freakish collision with an Army truck, on the day before his departure for the US, was not really an accident? 1 hr. 26 min. #112094 $24.95
