1. Not bad, not bad at all.

   Having begun to look into Bletchley Park, the Berlin Tunnel, and the “Hamburg Tea Parties” (the improptu but highly-effective Western Allied intel center for breaking Stalin’s codes during the Elbe River Crisis, Northern Iran, the Greek Civil War, and the Berlin Airlift), this is certainly a welcome addition to my knowledge. I already knew Polish cryptography had been a major boon to the West (starting to crack Enigma and Soviet codes during the interbellum), but this is new.

   Mucho Gracias.
