In the spirit of military achievements mentioned in this article and upcoming Memorial Day, I would suggest watching "Still the Drums", a 5 award winning Independent film production about 4 Vietnam Vets with one a Medal of Honor recipient. I found it quite powerful and will be sharing my copy of the DVD with some of my friends from that era.

Eye of the Needle was a very well done movie. Everything about it was totally believable.

There was a somewhat similar effort on the West Coast of the U.S. during the war. Fearing the possibility of Japanese planes reaching the West Coast, the Hollywood special effects departments camouflaged the rooftops of defense plants so that, from the air, it would look like you were flying over housing developments, wooded areas, or farmland.

The Man Who Hoodwinked Hitler - BBC Documentary Nine Part series on the topic of the allied misinformation campaign that included inflatable tanks, planes as discussed in this thread. The best part is you aren't beholden to PBS' schedule.
