Did I watch a movie about this? Or was it a book I read?

My dad told me about these from a young age.

Churchill mentions them in his WW2 memoir.

We did the same shit with Boeing Wonderland.

I was familiar with the story, I'd never actually seen film of the "equipment."

Wasn't Patton in charge of this "army?"

Absolutely. It took many in German command roughly eight days to fully come to grips with the fact that D-Day was actually the invasion. This was due to a multitude of factors, like the amazing counter-intelligence operations out of Bletchley Park, but a big one was that the Germans just refused to believe that we would ever sideline Patton in the initial invasion.
