A new series of publications about Ultra, the high-grade intelligence decrypted from the German Enigma machine by the WWII code breakers at Bletchley Park where Axis radio signals were de-cyphered. At its peak some 580 men & women worked in Hut 3 which developed into an incomparable intelligence organisation, the like of which had never been seen before. Those who had worked in Hut 3 wrote a history of their activities, the result being so sensitive that it was immediately given the highest security classification. This monograph is based on that history.

This book was originally written as a Bletchley Park classified report by A P 'Paddy' Mahon, who joined Hut 8 in October, 1941 and became its head in August, 1944. Breaking the German Naval Enigma codes was a very tough task, given the complex way in which naval messages were encrypted. Even after the U-Boat fleet moved to the 4 wheel Enigma machine in February, 1942, which blacked out Bletchley Park until the end of the year, the codebreakers never gave up. They found their way back into what the Germans called 'Triton'in December of that year.
