As far as i read, cracking enigma codes usually took no more than one day, this because british used a prototype of computer ("turing" machine).

The german "experts" admitted that in theory enigma could be broken... but they were sure that in practice it was impossible since nobody had the capabilty to set up such a huge decription systems.

in facts british technology proved to be, not only much more advanced than nazi's, but also beyond nazi's imagination!

anyway, i'd like to discuss the conduct of doenitz. nobody in the reich had both so many elements and so much power to change things.

he didn't do anything.
