Re: Using Ultra to research the Luftwaffe

Hi Marty,
You may already have covered this, but there are good insights into the transfer of information in 'BRITISH INTELLIGENCE IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR: Vol 1, ITS INFLUENCE ON STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS' by Hinsley. Pages 311-314 cover particular issues concerning the early exchange arrangements, and he quotes TNA sources.

'TRACKING THE AXIS ENEMY: THE TRIUMPH OF ANGLO-AMERICAN INAVAL INTELLIGENCE' by Bath is extensive in exploring the subject. Again, the sources are fully quoted.

The variety of points that typically have to be brought together for research usually defy all attempts to narrow down the search area. I know it doesn't directly answer the series of questions you posted, but my gut feeling is that individual files hold the answers to questions so suggest that you may as well look forward to reading as much as possible of the HW and DEFE series!

There will also political & diplomatic be information outside those series.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
