Re: Old typewriter

The Germans were actively cracking Britain's codes at various points throughout WW2 but didn't have the resources to mount an equivalent codebreaking effort to Ultra.

Interestingly, the Germans considered Britain's apparent (as they saw it) carelessness in its own encryption to be evidence that they were unlikely to be reading Enigma.
