Thank you for the kind words Za.

Regarding the USSR and Ultra. I don't think that Stalin and his men would readily accept information that was sent to them. The info itself would have to be washed before sending it so it wouldn't compromise the code. Another issue is of course that the USSR would have to confirm the info themselves.

In 2006 it is possible to retreive most information at the drop of a hat. We have search engines to filter out the rubbish that we don't want to know about. In the '40ies you would have to train secretaries to type, learn a new language etc.

The Ultra secret was important, but not as effective as fiction novelists would have us beleive.
