<HTML>Hello Oliver,
I'd like to make a correction. Red, because they were german/french/swiss/russian communist spies and not because they were at the recieving end. In a way they were communists at the recieving end. Rote Kapelle had communist members from various nations (including americans) and men and women from the Luftwaffe and HeeresAmt. In fact one senior official turned over a spanking new enigma machine over to this contact in Berne! I am not sure but I think the Radio operators were also called pianists.
Regards
