The Third Reich is listening : inside German codebreaking 1939-45

Books
The codebreakers at Bletchley Park have been immortalised in films such as 'The Imitation Game' and 'Enigma', but the Germans were also breaking Allied ciphers. This book presents a comprehensive account of the successes, failures, and science of Germany's codebreaking and signals intelligence operations from 1935 to 1945. This fast-moving blend of modern history and popular science is told through colourful personal accounts of the Germans at the heart of the story, including a former astronomer who worked out the British order of battle in 1940, a U-Boat commander on the front line of the Battle of the Atlantic and the woman from the foreign ministry decrypting Japanese and Italian signals.
