No, it is! But why where they called the "Ghost Division". What was the reason for it?

My English isn't that good, I'm trying.

[Slipdigit]

Your English is fine, my ability to read isn't. I missed the "why" portion of your original question.

The division seemed to appear at unexpected locations, in a manner not unlike a ghost.

[Slipdigit]

Either that or they walked around in sheets, dragging chains and saying wooo.....wooo-ooo.

I count this correct.

The Division was in the time at the Blitzkrieg in France so fast that even their own army didn't knew where they were because they were that fast. They disappeared and then they were there, nobody knew where they where so thats why they were called the "Ghost Division".
