CAFE DE L'EST William Sayles 11" x 14" Archival Paper $65

In 1944 the men of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, known as the “Ghost Army,” were sent to war with rubber tanks, fake artillery and a few more tricks. Across Europe and into Germany, they conjured up deceptions to fool the enemy about location of fully armored American Army units.

Many of the deceivers were artists who, in between missions, on their own time, created wonderful drawings and paintings of the war torn continent.

We are pleased to offer prints of a selected group of paintings and drawings created by the men of the Ghost Army during WWII. These reproductions are beautifully printed on archival paper and suitable for framing.

All artwork is copyright protected by each artist and/or their estates. All rights reserved. No artwork may be copied without permission.
