This is a seriously cool thread, thanks for the great stories guys. I've just got a cool story to add, very short one at that. During the battle of the Bulge, the Germans send a couple hundred soldiers behind enemy lines, dressed in american clothing and driving american vehicles to cause mayem. This meant they gave out false orders, changed roadposts and whatnot. This meant that the americans became really suspicious of eachother. The germans had falsified American identification papers to near perfection. However, the original American documents contained a rather obvious typo. Instead of Identification, it said Indentification. The Germans however, corrected the mistake and gave out papers with the proper spelling. That made rounding up the germans much easier for the Americans. I just love that story so much, can't really explain why. I read it in Citizens Soldiers, by Steven Ambrose.
