The Ghost Army was a secret World War II unit composed of artists and engineers who used inflatable tanks, sound trucks playing recordings of military divisions, and other deceptive tactics to create the illusion of a 30,000-troop army with only 1,000 personnel, successfully misleading German intelligence into chasing phantom forces while real Allied troops advanced.

The Ghost Army: Inflatable Tanks That Fooled HitlerAdded:
Imagine spying on an enemy army and seeing hundreds of tanks ready for battle. Only problem, the entire army is fake. In World War II, the US built the Ghost Army, a secret unit of artists and engineers whose weapons were inflatable tanks and pure deception. They used giant decoys and sound trucks blasting recordings of entire divisions to make the enemy believe a massive force was where it actually wasn't. With just a thousand men, they simulated an army of 30,000, forcing German intelligence to chase phantoms while the real allies advanced. Their work stayed classified for 50 [music] years, a phantom army that helped win a real war. Is illusion actually one of history's most powerful weapons?
