Britain’s “Ultra” project was a top-secret intelligence gathering project. The Allies stealing of Axis intelligence was its greatest advantage. British used Poland “Bombe” to decrypt German messages at a rate of 1000 per day. The “Magic” program was the American equivalent. The “Magic” program helped alert Americans of many Japanese attacks in the Pacific.Added to timeline:
