Report on the Crash of Captain Marseille

[Nick Beale]

Hi Rod,

You just answered the question I was about to ask. What's worse is that I downloaded that file in 2012 and never noticed these messages! Can't even remember what I was looking for or whether I found it.

The bit about "neither reported in CX/MSS nor signalled abroad" is fascinating — apparently Bletchley Park kept this material "in the family", so to speak. Some are "Personal to C.S.S." which I take to be "Chief Secret Service" (i.e. Bletchley's ultimate boss).

I have a handful of references to Marseille from ULTRA that I picked up during my Kommando Koch research — CX/MSS items both before and after his death (I'll put them on my website at some point this year) so it's odd that this wasn't issued. On the other hand, his death presumably was publicly announced.
