Hmmm.............
During the war, teams of codebreakers based at Bletchley Park, in the UK, scrambled to unravel German communications in an attempt both to undermine the German war machine and to save the lives of soldiers and seamen.
But who gives a damn about the City of Coventry and its citizens?...................Churchill is to blame for that one...............
Yes, Churchill and Roosevelt had a lot in common..........a pair of matched dog turds on the sidewalk! Roosevelt would not even have joined if Hirohito had not given him a nudge..............as for WWI, well Twatchill was first sea lord?...........and the Lusitania was a British ship, and it was carrying a lot of wealthy Americans.............and it was in "Jane's Fighting Ships" (bit odd for a passenger liner?)...................
As for the "U-Boat" stuff, that is total nonsense. It was ASDIC and RADAR that got to them........they have to breathe, and even a snorkel unit could be detected. And flying boats such as the Short Sunderland and Consolidated Catalina were deadly...........the sub didn't even know that they were there.
We knew that the Germans knew where our convoys were, we knew they would attack...........big deal? and what's new? you don't need a codebreaker for that, you need more bloody destroyers and frigates.
Ack! Phtt! "historians"?................ you have got to be joking?
