The success of the Allied codebreakers at Bletchley Park was one of
the iconic intelligence achievements of World War II, immortalised in
films such as The Imitation Game and Enigma. But cracking Enigma was
only half of the story. Across the Channel, German intelligence
agencies were hard at work breaking British and Allied codes. Now
updated in paperback, The Third Reich is Listening is a gripping blend
of modern history and science, and describes the successes and
failures of Germany's codebreaking and signals intelligence operations
from 1935 to 1945. The first mainstream book to take an in-depth look
at German cryptanalysis in World War II, it tells how the Third Reich
broke the ciphers of Allied and neutral countries, including Great
Britain, France, Russia and Switzerland. This book offers a dramatic
new perspective on one of the biggest stories of World War II, using
declassified archive material and colourful personal accounts from the
Germans at the heart of the story, including a former astronomer who
worked out the British order of battle in 1940, a U-Boat commander on
the front line of the Battle of the Atlantic, and the German
cryptanalyst who broke into and read crucial codes of the British
Royal Navy.
