For almost sixty years after their deaths, three men, whose brave
actions shortened the Second World War by as much as two years,
remained virtually unknown and uncelebrated. Two lost their lives
retrieving vital German codebooks from a sinking U-boat. The third
survived the war, only to die in a house fire soon afterwards. But
it was the precious documents they seized in October 1942 that
enabled Bletchley Park's code-breakers to crack Enigma and so win
the Battle of the Atlantic. Now recognised as a pivotal moment in
world history, three British servicemen made it possible to finally
beat the U-boats, but at the time not even their families could be
told of the importance of their deeds. Shrouded in secrecy for
decades, then recast as fictional Americans by the Hollywood film
U-571, this book sets the record straight. It is written in
celebration of Colin Grazier GC, Tony Fasson GC, and Tommy Brown GM
- the REAL Enigma heroes.
