About this listen
Based on Chapter 2
Episode Description: When the printing press met the radio, the lie became a weapon of mass destruction. This episode explores the "Golden Age" of analog deception during World War II. We go inside the "Ghost Army," a unit of artists who used inflatable tanks to fool Hitler, and unpack "Operation Mincemeat," the audacious plot to float a dead body with fake documents to change the course of the war. Plus, the seductive, demoralizing power of "Tokyo Rose" and the birth of the "parasocial" relationship in warfare.
Keywords: ww2, ghost army, espionage, spycraft, tokyo rose, propaganda, history, winston churchill, deception, military strategy, operation mincemeat
