Krátky popis
The urgent, dramatic and untold story of how, for four years,
British and Allied codebreakers decrypted secret SS and Gestapo
messages detailing the mass killings of the Holocaust, and how the
Germans in turn deployed cryptanalysis to try and conceal their
persecution of Europe's Jews. The compelling and fast-paced story
is told by two central and opposing characters, who never meet each
other. At Bletchley Park, there is the legendary but unsung British
codebreaker Nigel De Grey, shy, determined, nicknamed 'the
Dormouse' by his colleagues.In Poland SS Major Hermann Hoefle, a
former taxi driver from Salzburg, and one of the Third Reich's
ruthless bureaucrats of mass death, oversees the operations of five
concentration camps, including Treblinka. De Grey fought hard to
make sure the vital intelligence from decrypted signals reached
Allied leaders and was acted on. Hoefle, meanwhile, used complex
coded messages to try to conceal the SS mass killings.De Grey
worked with his American counterparts, as well as codebreakers and
intelligence agents from the Soviet Union, France, The Vatican,
Switzerland and Poland. He had dangerous enemies closer to home,
too: a cabal of senior British government and intelligence
officials disbelieved or ignored repeated intelligence reports
about the ongoing Holocaust. It is the story of a battle between
good and evil, between life and mass death, a war of electronic
wits and cat-and-mouse.Seventy-five years on, as Russian leaders
face war crimes charges in international courts, the words 'Never
Again' seem even more pertinent than ever.
