Gus asked me to post this on his behalf.

PBS is running a show on the Ghost Army tonight. Might be worth DVRing.

I'll set mine now.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Huh; interesting.  Would these be the same guys that helped create Patton's fake invasion force to keep the German 15th Army pinned down in Calais?

I'll probably miss this but let us know how it is.

It'll be on later tonight and I think Thursday too.

What type of AFV chasis was used for the sonic unit?  Tracked vehicle with large speaker mounted on top.

EDIT: deleting a guess that was probably way off the mark. Instead...

It must be an M3 variant with the front cab area hidden by the camera angle. Look at the drive wheels and return wheels.
