Part 4/10:
Within the Ghost Army, the most crucial arm was the 603rd Engineer Camouflage Battalion. Comprising 379 men, this unit specialized in creating realistic visual deceptions aimed at tricking enemy aerial reconnaissance. They employed inflatable tanks, cannons, and aircraft, enabling them to replicate the appearance of military asset deployment effectively. Remarkably, these illusions could be set up within hours, transforming barren landscapes into bustling military installations complete with fake positions and even laundry flapping on improvised clotheslines.
