How U.S. Audio Engineers, Ad Agents, Set Designers, Film Directors, and Actors Outsmarted Adolf Hitler
The significant contribution of Allied powers’ deception unit in the fall of Nazis
In the era of the Second World War, the United States used Hollywood to advertise U.S. military recruitment, war bonds, and propaganda. The entertainment industry assisted the Allies in several ways, even on the battlefield.
The United States even created a special military unit composed of advertising agents, visual artists, audio engineers, set designers, film directors, and actors. They were sent to the European Theater to outwit Adolf Hitler’s generals and admirals.
These artists’ main mission was to fool the Nazis by creating a huge production — Hollywood style.
Uncle Sam wants creative people
During World War Two, the United States’ most conservative organization, the U.S. Army, started massive recruitment of people in creative professions.
They targeted students from the top art schools across the country. They also recruited seasoned advertising agents, set designers, props makers, film directors, carpenters, visual artists, and audio engineers.
