[Milsurplus] tank radio skip?

[Bob Camp]

Hi

There were a number of "disinformation" campaigns during WW2 to hide 
the fact that we had cracked Enigma. A number of people have questioned 
the whole "Connecticut radio intercept" story. The Connecticut 
connection is a bit twisted and not entirely relevant.

Radio intercept was very useful North Africa and did give significant 
tactical advantage in a number of battles. This is pretty well 
documented in a number of sources. The only minor issue is that it was 
the Germans doing the intercept work and the British were the ones 
being intercepted.

	Take Care!
