Description
The Holocaust Codes: The Untold Story of Decrypting the Final Solution by Christian Jennings is a groundbreaking account of how British and Allied codebreakers cracked secret SS and Gestapo messages detailing the mass killings of the Holocaust. For four years, these codebreakers worked tirelessly to uncover vital intelligence from decrypted signals, which ultimately helped shape the course of World War II. At the heart of this story are two opposing figures: Nigel de Grey, a British codebreaker known as 'the Dormouse', and SS Major Hermann Hfle, a ruthless bureaucrat overseeing concentration camps in Nazi-occupied Poland. De Grey's work with American counterparts, Soviet Union agents, French intelligence, Vatican officials, Swiss cryptanalysts, and Polish informants was crucial in uncovering the truth about the Holocaust. However, de Grey faced significant opposition from senior British government and intelligence officials who disbelieved or ignored repeated reports of the ongoing atrocities. This book sheds new light on a pivotal moment in history, revealing the complex and often fraught world of wartime cryptography.
