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.
