The Soviet moles inside British intelligence knew about Ultra, and so did Stalin and his upper echelon.

These men saved the world. We speak English rather than German because of men like Jerry Roberts and the sacrifices they made. God bless them...

Prayers for his family and loved ones....

I agree….totally….but it might have been a five -six year war with a very different division of Europe, Asia, etc…..might have had to use an A bomb in the Atlantic theatre also…and the Germans might have developed jets in time to do more damage…maybe their a-bomb….so while the “winner” would have been ultimately the same I think…the ending would have been “very different” nonetheless.

Did you ever read Fatherland?

If you wanted to keep a secret, you could tell it to Stalin. He wasn't much at sharing.
