1943: When German Intelligence Realized Their Code Was Broken

Описание: March 1943. Berlin.
Deep beneath the Reich Chancellery, a small group of naval officers gathered in silence.
On the table before them — convoy charts, U-boat reports, casualty lists.
Twenty-six submarines lost in one month. Allied destroyers appearing where no one could have known they’d be.
Then came the words no one dared to believe:
“They’re reading us.”

For years, Germany had trusted the Enigma machine — the mathematical fortress that made their communications “unbreakable.”
But in that smoke-filled room, the truth finally surfaced:
The Allies weren’t guessing.
They were listening.

This documentary reveals:
✓ How the Battle of the Atlantic was lost inside the German war rooms — not at sea
✓ The secret investigation that nearly exposed Bletchley Park’s success
✓ Dönitz’s fateful decision to cancel Operation Seeteufel — and admit the war beneath the waves was over
✓ How British codebreakers at Bletchley Park outthought the Reich’s most advanced technology
✓ The untold psychological collapse of a military that realized its “miracle machine” had betrayed it

Based on declassified OKW intelligence reports, Kriegsmarine archives, and post-war testimony, this is the true story of the moment Germany discovered its greatest weapon — Enigma — had already been turned against it.
