as a result of the cut cables, germany lost its most secure
long-distance communications system. the germans now
had to rely on radio transmissions from their powerful
wireless station at nauen, a few miles from berlin. which
was exactly what the british military knew they would have
to do. and once the germans began sending wireless
messages, mi8, the british code breakers, began plucking
them from the air. of course, all german correspondence
was sent in a complicated cipher system, so that was when
the hard work began for the code breakers of mi8.
