Description
Scope and content: This film was used by the U.S. Army during World War II to describe the concepts and general procedures associated with sonic deception, or the use of sound recordings to deceive the enemy.
Description
Abstract: The film has three main segments. The first portion is a dramatization which shows German outposts reporting sounds of enemy movements to headquarters and the response of German forces to this information. The second segment (11:50) outlines the purpose, training, equipment, organization and activities of sonic deception units, with many scenes filmed at Pine Camp, N.Y. where these units were trained. The final segment (20:24) reexamines the earlier dramatization, showing the steps taken by the American sonic deception unit to mislead the Germans, and its results.
