My Dad- he volunteered about a week after he heard about the Chosin Reservoir- he was on a student exemption and he volunteered because he thought they needed him. He served honorably and lived to a ripe old age. Became a police chaplain and had a military and police honor guard at his funeral.

I watched a PBS program about the ghost army in WW2. I was aware of the dummy equipment and camouflage developed then but sigintel was also used along with recorded sounds of equipment/troops, etc. As with most pbs stuff it's not available online but I think it's covered in this article. Imagine intentionally trying to draw fire to give the real invaders cover!
