About this title

Synopsis

Shortly after World War II, the U.S. Government commissioned Wilhelm F. Flicke, because of his "inside" knowledge of German radio-espionage and "code-breaking" efforts, to write War Secrets in the Ether. Translated from German, the contents of this book are so startling that the book remained classified until the late 1970s. Now unclassified, this book tells the story of German successes in reading the secret codes of both enemies and friends. Historians have long pondered how General Rommel knew in advance the moves of the British army in North Africa. This book now reveals the reason: the Germans had "broken" the U.S. SECRET code between Cairo and Washington. This is a fascinating and revealing book.
