SUMMARY:*** ONLINE via ZOOM*** Rotary Club Wiesbaden-Kochbrunnen Invited us
  to attend one of their online meeting
DESCRIPTION:Relatore/i: Rotary Club Wiesbaden-Kochbrunnen in Germany conduc
 ts Zoom meetings in English every four months to keep in touch with our fr
 iends abroad (including the members of our new partner club\, the Jerusale
 m Rotary Club). The next English-speaking meeting will take place on Thurs
 day\, February 10\, at 7 pm Berlin time. This will be the topic of our me
 eting: The Ghost ArmyFor a long time this strange story was completely unk
 nown\, but after 40 years the secret documents were released by the US mil
 itary. They prove the unbelievable but true deceptive manoeuvres of the so
 -called "Ghost Army" in France\, Belgium\, Luxembourg and Germany: with in
 flatable tanks\, battle sounds from high-powered loudspeakers and other il
 lusions\, a special American unit fooled Hitler's Wehrmacht and pretended 
 to have troop strengths of up to 30\,000 men\, which in reality did not ex
 ist at these locations. Among the soldiers were numerous young creative pe
 ople\, many of whom were recruited from advertising agencies and art schoo
 ls – among them the fashion designer Bill Blass\, the photographer Art K
 ane\, or painter Ellsworth Kelly (winner of the Jawlensky Prize of the cit
 y of Wiesbaden). The designers brought their impressions of the mission ba
 ck home in sketchbooks\, on film and in photos. Recently\, the US House of
  Representatives gave final passage to a bill to award the Ghost Army a Co
 ngressional Gold Medal.Rick Beyer\, award-winning filmmaker\, best-selling
  author\, and long-time history enthusiast\, joins us from Chicago and wil
 l talk about this special unit in a picturesque presentation.Hope to see y
 ou very soon! And please bring all your members!Thilo von DebschitzPreside
