Along with breaking the Japanese diplomatic cryptosystem, usually referred to as "PURPLE," probably the greatest example of Allied cryptanalytic success in World War II was breaking of the German Enigma machine.

However, even with this virtual mountain chain of data, information gaps still exist, and many important questions remain under...
