Ghost ArmyFor nearly 50 years, the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops maintained secrecy about their unique mission and actions during World War II. Now, a powerful documentary about the Ghost Army has been made, and the Hatcher Graduate Library has an exhibit in honor of this extraordinary group of men.

In 1944, the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops arrived in Normandy equipped with "hundreds of inflatable tanks and a one-of-a-kind collection of sound effects records, and it carried out its battlefield mission without firing a shot."

The exhibit at Hatcher began on March 1st and will run through May 3rd. The exhibit, located in Room 100, the Gallery, is available to the public during normal hours of library operations (see the Hatcher site for specific hours).
