FA,

Septenthian isn’t mine. I like it but it takes a bit too long to figure out – mainly because sept doesn’t relate to 9. 910′er might work better or Septenthian might work out, dunno.

Knucklehead,

I believe that the primary use of Ultra in the North African campaign was to allow the sinking of Rommel’s resupply convoys. I don’t think that ground commanders were given much in the way of actionable intelligence. I would disagree that certain assets (including American lives) would not be sacrificed today in order to protect a source. The Enigma/Ultra facts were held until after Churchill’s death. I would imagine that there are certain elements of Enigma/Ultra that are still under wraps.

Has anyone seen the date on which Khan was taken into custody? The reports I’ve read say “a month ago” but lack a specific date. Telling the enemy that you’ve got their code has some practical benefits as well as pitfalls.
