What were the Ultra and Magic anyways? Carriers, planes, submarines?

I didn't say they would have won the war. I said battles would have turned out differently. If it wasn't for Magic, the Americans would not have learned that the target for the Japanese was Midway. The possibility that they would have fallen for the Aleutian Island invasion ruse would have been strong.

Ultra and Magic are the names given to the intelligence gathered from decrypting enemy communications. Code breakers.
