Ghosts are Real
Revisado: 03-01-20
3/1/20 - I've seen movies/documentaries that show the use of inflatables in WWII and Normandy, but I wasn't aware of the large scope and length of this operation. Actually hearing about the operation from an officer that was in charge (and served under Patton no less) was a nice touch. I also wasn't aware of the sonic component of this campaign. Giving the technology at the time, this was a major feat. My biggest take away from this story was how long this ruse went on and how towards the end even Gen. Patton was worried they were going to get caught by the Germans. There's a lot of great details in this short story. It's worth 30 minutes of your time if you like WWII history.
After listening to this story I wondered why there had never been a movie about this topic. I learned there was a well-received documentary produced in 2013 and in late 2019 Ben Affleck was hired to direct and star in an HBO movie about the subject. It appears as of 3/1/20 the movie is still under development.
