The Ghost Army of WWII by Rick Beyer, about the unit filled with artists and designers (Bill Blass was in it), that pulled off all kinds of deceptions, sonic and otherwise, to fool the German Army after the invasion of France. They did things like set up inflatable tanks and artillery to fool the Germans into a thinking a major offensive was coming, or trucks with recordings of tanks and the sound of tramping feet to make it seem like a major troop movement was happening (far away from the real area of operations), drawing the German army off to follow the red herring.
