Re: Using Ultra to research the Luftwaffe

Hi Marty,
I will answer in more detail when I can access my library, but briefly ...

'The transfer of SIGINT methods almost certainly began with the meeting on 8 Jul 1940 between Lord Lothian and FDR.'

... is not the way I read the situation. The exchange of information and some technology was already established, on a less ambitious scale, since 1937 or 1938. The full scale pooling of resouces in the summer of 1940 was built on the succesful groundwork laid over the previous two years.

Will follow up soon.

Bruce
