 g: The Ghost ArmyFor a long time this strange story was completely unknown
 \, but after 40 years the secret documents were released by the US militar
 y. They prove the unbelievable but true deceptive manoeuvres of the so-cal
 led "Ghost Army" in France\, Belgium\, Luxembourg and Germany: with inflat
 able tanks\, battle sounds from high-powered loudspeakers and other illusi
 ons\, a special American unit fooled Hitler's Wehrmacht and pretended to h
 ave troop strengths of up to 30\,000 men\, which in reality did not exist 
 at these locations. Among the soldiers were numerous young creative people
 \, many of whom were recruited from advertising agencies and art schools 
 – among them the fashion designer Bill Blass\, the photographer Art Kane
 \, or painter Ellsworth Kelly (winner of the Jawlensky Prize of the city o
 f Wiesbaden). The designers brought their impressions of the mission back 
 home in sketchbooks\, on film and in photos. Recently\, the US House of Re
 presentatives gave final passage to a bill to award the Ghost Army a Congr
 essional Gold Medal.Rick Beyer\, award-winning filmmaker\, best-selling au
 thor\, and long-time history enthusiast\, joins us from Chicago and will t
 alk about this special unit in a picturesque presentation.Hope to see you 
 very soon! And please bring all your members!Thilo von DebschitzPresident
