The Son Tay raid failed because the prisoners had just been moved to another prison.

Anyone have any idea why?

No, but the film says that the prisoners had notified them earlier that they had been moved, but due to a backlog of letters it was not decoded until the day of the raid.

The Walker Spy Ring gave away the KW-7 codes. The Soviets were reading all our traffic. I personally observed at least two incidents where the Soviet Navy acted on intercepted communications.
