That is precisely the fundamental point here  There are no known records that indicate the Germans knew of the existence of Fido!!
How long did it take them to begin realising that most convoy reports still amounted to wild goose chases because the convoy changed course after it was discovered.....or that their enigma code had been compromised ? :hmm: |
even more interesting is the fact that the allies started distributing CAT
gear almost three months before Zaunkonig 1's went operational. within
three weeks of the first attack almost all atlantic escort forces were so
