@Lars

Not sure about some of these points. Certainly everything I read and see in reaction to Polish contribution to Enigma and the Russian involvement in Berlin seems to cover everything fairly well. It's tosh such as U-571 etc that derails fact for fiction

The point about lives saved is interesting as of course time brings more reflection and more modelling (all hypothetical of course) but you are correct; we'll never ever know. I have never really been aware that the number of UK or American deaths, military or civilian, are somehow greater or more 'significant' than others. Rather to the contrary I would state that most would think of Germany and Russia first and foremost.
