Using Ultra to research the Luftwaffe

What period?

All the best

Isn't it possible to access and use the HW5 files directly from home now? Wasn't there a considerable amount of discussion on how to do this in one of the threads right here on TOCH! a few months ago?

I could not make it work for me, but perhaps Herr Toffel can try it and he will have better luck?

Thanks for the response,

my first indication is CX/MSS/T19/82 from December 43 but I would like to have a look from March 43 to May 45. Of course, this is much, but the small time I have for research I would like to go through the HW5 files step by step.
I do not expect that someone is me looking out the relevant pages for some keywords and returns home, but of course I want to try myself within my means to repay you. The problem is probably just that every so has his interests and the other because nothing can possibly begin with.
But I'll be glad if we can try.

Chris, I think maybe you underestimate just how much that would be. Even if anyone copied the 492 files (= tens of thousands of pages and hundreds of thousands of messages) covering this period, you would need far more than "a small time for research" to go through it all. The references to earlier messages are always helpful but they are not infallible if you want to follow a subject.

You mention one message but you didn't say what its subject is (and it's not one I have). It is possible that someone here might have Ultra material on that subject and period, if they knew what you wanted.
