The art of deception has been part of warfare since the very beginning of warfare. The Trojan Horse. The feigned retreat. The smoke screen. This month, on Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah Dunia, author and filmmaker Rick Beyer tells the remarkable story of US Army's 23rd Headquarters Special Troops - 1,100 artists, designers, architects, and sound engineers - whose job it was to create a fake army that would be deployed in Europe to try to confuse the Germans.
