Why do the British refuse to believe that we captured the U-505?
So you captured the U-505, no ones disputing that fact, even if some get confused, usually due to lack of research. just so long as you americans dont claim to be the ones claiming credit for capturing the first enigma machine thats all May 9, 1941: British destroyers capture German U-Boat U-110. The British take a naval version of the secret cipher machine known as Enigma, and let the boat sink to keep the fact of their boarding secret. The Enigma machine, used by the Kriegsmarine to encode and decode messages, was taken to Bletchley Park, where cryptographers succeeded in breaking the naval code. Several versions of the Enigma machine existed, but the working principle – a rotor system activated using a keyboard – was the same. The Enigma used by the German army was decrypted in 1932 by Polish cryptographers.
