Jerry,

The US Air Force Warrior Studies commissioned an interesting Air
Force History document by Dr. Diane T. Putney titled "ULTRA and
the Army Air Forces in WW2".

Here are some relevant excerpts:

"ULTRA remained the great secret of WW2 for nearly 30 years
after the war..."

"Two books published in 1967 and 1973 in Polish and French,
respectively, revealed that ENIGMA intercepts were broken and
read, but the books received little notice. (Until) in 1974,
Frederick W. Winterbotham, the British group captain who
established the Special Liaison Units and who was responsible
for ULTRA's security, published his memoir, The Ultra Secret,
which became an instant bestseller."

"The initial revelations about ULTRA led some people to
speculate that reputations of some Allied commanders would have
to be revised, that ULTRA was responsible for the Allied
victory, and that the history of WW2 would have to be rewritten.
Historians were willing to reexamine their conclusions in light
of new evidence, but they still had to wait years until the U.S.
and British governments declassified and released ULTRA
documents."

So here we have a precedent of factual information being ignored
by historians in 1967 and 1973 until someone 'in the know'
revealed ULTRA as a reality. Just because no credentialed
historian has come to my conclusions does not mean that the
reality behind my theory does not exist.
