My understanding is that the Axis forces had no idea that Allied forces had cracked the encription codes. I think (im going off of memory right now, so if Im wrong...feel free to correct me) that the capture of U-505 was a kept secret until after the war and the capture of the enigma machine allowed the Allies a funtional understanding of German encription.
