The Ghost Army

I just watched a great documentary on Amazon Prime about a military unit made up of artists of all kinds who used their skills to create deceptions to fool the Germans into thinking our armies were where they were not. The 1100 men who made up the unit were called the Ghost Army.

Throughout the program they show the artwork the men created for themselves during their down time.

A great show if you have the time.

Oooooh, that sounds cool! I'll have to check for it on Netflix. There are a lot of good art docs on Netflix, only reason why I still have a subscription.

I've seen it... a great story of stealth, creativity and ingenuity.

I loved their art. Sometimes I wish I had a better space to paint, then I saw what they did "with ink and spit" while sitting in the ruble. Humbling and amazing.
