Hitler's Japanese Confidant General Oshima Hiroshi and Magic Intelligence, 1941-1945

In 1940 the U.S. Army Signal Intelligence Service broke the Japanese diplomatic code, but Oshima Hiroshi, Japan's ambassador to Berlin during World War II, never discovered that the hundreds of messages he transmitted to Tokyo were being fully decoded by the Americans and whisked off to Washington. Carl Boyd resurrects Oshima's decoded communications, which had remained classified for several decades. In them Oshima reveals the thoughts and strategies of Adolf Hitler and other high-ranking Nazis with whom he associated. In addition to providing illuminating insight into Nazi activities and attitudes, Boyd demonstrates how the intelligence gathered by teams of American cryptographers influenced Allied strategy and helped bring about the downfall of Hitler and his Japanese confidant.Boyd, Carl is the author of 'Hitler's Japanese Confidant General Oshima Hiroshi and Magic Intelligence, 1941-1945' with ISBN 9780700611898 and ISBN 0700611894.
