Code Wars: How 8216 Ultra and 8216 Magic Led to Allied Victory Introduction: In the midst of World War II, the Allies were facing a daunting task in their fight against the Axis powers. The Nazi regime had developed an impenetrable code-breaking machine called Enigma, which made it nearly impossible for the Allies to decipher their communications. However, through the efforts of a team of brilliant codebreakers, the Allies were able to crack the Enigma code and gain a significant advantage in the war. This book, "Code Wars," tells the story of how the pioneering work of ULTRA and MAGIC led to the Allied victory. Chapter 1: The Birth of ULTRA The chapter begins with the introduction of the top secret codebreaking activities at Bletchley Park, which were revealed in the 1970s, leading to a significant rewrite of the history of the Second World War. It highlights the role of ULTRA, the intelligence derived from breaking secret enemy signals, and its impact on major events such as D-Day, El Alamein, Crete, key naval battles, and the controversy surrounding Churchill and Coventry.
