good remark. generally speaking i think that the allies worried too much about keeping enigma code breaking secret. But, on the other hand, how could the british imagine that the nazis were so stupid??
(what happened in the atlantic is simply unbelievable).
Nevertheless, the more i read about the emigma affair the more i realise that many in germany understood what was going on but didn't do anything... maybe some believed they could gain personal advantege from this. I don't know... well, certainly most nazi leaders were plotting against each other.
