The Holocaust Codes

The Untold Story of Decrypting the Final Solution

Beschreibung

The first dedicated study of the cat-and-mouse struggle between a British cryptographer at Bletchley Park, and an Austrian SS officer responsible for the mass killings of thousands of Russian and Polish Jews. The account of how Nigel de Grey cracked the Enigma-coded signals of SS Major Hermann Hofle is one of the greatest untold stories of the Second World War.
