Sorry for the mess-up on transmitting the file yesterday
After seeing the very interesting movie last Sat on Enigma Secrets done
from the Polish viewpont, I am including for wider dissemination a short
bibliography of books which I have accumulated over several years
concerning the breaking of Enigma and Geheimschriber and the use of this
information by the allies in WW2 as Magic and Ultra . It stresses the
English efforts by Welchman and Turing at Bletchley Park and the
American efforts at Arlington Hall in constructing the bombas and the
use of cribs in the wholesale, rapid and timely decriptions that
occurred later in WW2.
I also have several books on the breaking of the various Japanese codes.
