From June 1944 to March 1945, it staged 20 battlefield deceptions, beginning in Normandy and ending along the Rhine River. Members of the Ghost Army engaged an array of inflatables (tanks, trucks, jeeps, airplanes), sound trucks, phony radio transmissions and even playacting to fool the enemy. We will have (if health permits) two members of the Ghost Army, along with a historian coming to Marathon County to share this little­ known story of WWII with the community. Rick Beyer, the historian, will be sending one of the inflatable tanks to be on display as he and two veterans of The Ghost Army give their presentations to area students, school staff, and community members. The Ghost Army of World War II describes the highly imaginative and daring maneuver that helped open the way for the final drive to Germany. There will be two free community presentations thanks to our sponsors. • Tuesday, November 10, 2015 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm in the Edgar High School Auditorium • Wednesday, November 11, 2015 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm in the Center for Civic Engagement Building at UW Marathon County.
