Breaking The Enigma Code
What was the most important short-term consequence of breaking the enigma code?
One one of the primary causes of the end of World War two was the breaking of the German Enigma codes. Other short-term consequences lead to First, the decimation of the Italian fleet at the Cape of Matapan in 1941, due to intercepted Italian signals by Bletchley Park, the sinking of Scharnhorst in 1943, as well due to findings be Bletchley Park, and the greatest contribution— the defeat of German U boats in the Atlantic.
Firstly, the battle of Cape Matapan was a world war two naval engagement between Britain and Italy. In March 1941, as British ships moved to Greece, Bletchley Park experienced breakthrough in decoding the Italian naval enigma, a message reporting …show more content…
‘The U boat war went on and on, always destructive and formless and apparently endless’, expressed by Winston Churchill. It consisted of an allied naval blockade of Germany. Its U boats and other warships of the German navy and airforce against the Royal Canadian navy, the United States navy, and the Royal navy. Britain was highly dependent on imported goods and there was an allied struggle to maintain Britain's supply and the Axis attempt to cut the flow of merchant shipping, which enabled Britain to keep fighting. The German’s wished to prevent the build-up of allied supplies in fear of being conquered in the part of Europe they occupied. Therefore, they used torpedos to sink convoys and merchant ships and then went under to water to ensure that there was no counter attack if the convoys were to be escorted by waships In order to find out the plans of the enemy, the British needed the wiring of the special naval enigma rotors and the desolation of one of their U boats provided them with the information. Therefore recovering this material allowed them to be able to read all German U boat traffic. In consequence of this, The British were able to plot the positions of the German U boat patrol lines, routing their convoys around them. To the disadvantage of the Germans, it was difficult to locate the British convoys due to a limit of visibility. Though there was success in a …show more content…
It can be assessed which short- term consequence is viewed as most important, despite the fact that they each made a significant impact in their own way. One can agree that the outcome of the battle of the Atlantic is the most significant short-term result of cracking the enigma code, as it completely undermined German power, through the obliteration of German U
