Description

The Real Enigma Heroes by Phil Shanahan For almost sixty years after their deaths, three British servicemen remained virtually unknown and uncelebrated for their crucial role in cracking the German Enigma code. In October 1942, they retrieved vital documents from a sinking U-boat, enabling Bletchley Park's code-breakers to gain a significant advantage in the Battle of the Atlantic. Their bravery and sacrifice were shrouded in secrecy for decades, only to be later distorted by the Hollywood film U-571. This book sets the record straight, shedding light on the remarkable true stories of Colin Grazier GC, Tony Fasson GC, and Tommy Brown GM - the men who made it possible to finally beat the U-boats. This book is a tribute to their courage and ingenuity, revealing the pivotal moment in world history that changed the course of the Second World War.
