Today, HMS Tartar captures the Laurenberg, a German weathership out of Norway.

On board, they find an ENIGMA machine, but more importantly, an instruction manual on how to change the ring settings, when changing the code wheels.

It was thanks to these documents that naval Enigma messages were read throughout most of July 1941.
