No, actually this has been known for some time.

Yes. you are correct.

But they left out our capture of an operating Enigma from a German sub being scuttled. Complete with their code books and documents.

Cryptography is still a very interesting subject.

They often leave out the contributions of Herbert Yardley. He was the one that was blackballed by the Allies for exposing the American Black Chamber at the end of WWI.

He worked for Chang kai shek during WWII. Nobody else would touch him. Because of his book.

And here I was believing the code was broken by an autistic homosexual who apparently faked a suicide, as he later turned up solving crimes with a guy named Watson and eventually became a surgeon/wizard. This was long before Mr. Spock kicked his ass on a flying garbage truck.

I try to stay informed.
