@lilmike2710 Nonsense. The Germans had, theoretically, their chance in 1940, but failed to come close.

@lilmike2710 Clearly, far better than you can write.

@lilmike2710 Definition of 'write' from my dictionary :- 'To make marks that represent letters, words, or numbers on a surface, such as paper or a computer screen, using a pen, pencil, or keyboard, or to use this method to record thoughts, facts, or messages.'

@jamescarr1467 Alternatively, read about HMS Bulldog and U110, then read about HMS Petard and U559, for details of the U-Boats captures which were really important where Enigma was concerned.

@wayneyd2 Petard's capture of U559 was critical in that it gave Bletchley Park, in October, 1942, access to the four rotor Enigma, together with code books & settings. The British were careful to publicise the sinkings of both U110 & U559, and to keep survivors well away from other German PoWs. Petard is unique in WW2 as the only Allied destroyer to participate in the sinking of submarines from all three axis powers, as a matter of interest.

@nickdanger3802 An odd case of a U Boat surrendering to an aircraft.

@nickdanger3802 I was replying to a comment about U505 & the capturing of the Enigma machine aboard her. It seems that both to original comment, and indeed my reply, have now vanished.
