[Milsurplus] German decrypts

[Ralph Cameron]

David (Poco) White , W1FZJ of Cherry Hill Mass, was ain intercept op in Puerto Rico during the war and fluent in German. 

He told me before he passed away that as a war historian he trnslated log books from German subs that sat off the coast of New York and regularly read American naval traffic with the result convoys were ambushed soon after leaving the U.S. coast. 

He provided translated logs to the Canadian naval historian which pinpointed which subs were responsible for  sinking Canadian vessels. i.e. the Germans had their own cryptographic unit aboard.
