WWII 'Ghost Army' soldiers receive Congressional Gold Medal

Season 2024 Episode 82

About the Episode

Some 1,100 World War II soldiers who served in the so-called "Ghost Army" received long overdue recognition at the U.S. Capitol. During the war, they belonged to units that specialized in trickery to outwit the Germans. Their methods included inflatable tanks, sound effects and phony radio transmissions. Thursday, three of the seven known surviving members accepted the Congressional Gold Medal.
