But didn't, apparently, and I doubt they could have overcome the machine ciphers (TypeX) that the RAF was using, not least because they believed their own machine ciphers were inviolable.

I can't remember if they were breaking the Royal Navy's codes as well as the Convoy Codes (based on code books) used by the Merchant Navy.
