<HTML>Hello

In 1941 British intelligence broken Japanese cipher and read telegrams which Tokyo was exchanged with its embassy in Berlin. About this testifies obtaining by the England telegram of Japanese Ambassador in Berlin to Foreign Ministry in Tokyo, in which he communicated that the Ambassador became known about the been in prospect attack of Germany to the USSR. England reported this in general form without the reference to the source, which they hid from the Soviet management. Stalin did not believe Churchill's message and recognised it as provocative disinformation directed toward the aggravation of Soviet-German relations.

For Soviet intelligence it was possible to decipher in November 1941 content of the telegram of Foreign Ministry of Japan to its Ambassador to Berlin. There was report indication to Hitler that Japan was not intended to attack in the Soviet Union, since has other plans directed against USA. This allowed Soviet government to remove the part of the Far-Eastern troops and to move them to the German front.

American in the work on the Japanese ciphers achieved systematic successes. They knew how to break their cipher in 1935. When it was introduced they began to read practically entire Japanese telegraphic correspondence. In 1939 the Japanese again replaced ciphers, but already on 25 September, 1940, American broken them. Thus, the US Government knew about the planned Japanese aggression against the USA previously.

The Swedish professor of mathematics Arne Beurling managed to uncover a secret German code ciphermachine. He not only has solved the very complex device of this machine, but also has helped to construct decipher device, which converted a set of digits into the standard text. From this moment the Swedes could read all German messages.

Because of the simple operation of Soviet intelligence the deciphered German reports immediately arrived to Moscow. The presence of the photocopies of the deciphered telegrams and the wireless interception of the German lines of communications helped Soviet experts independently reveal German cipher.

It is known that the British intelligence in the prewar time unsuccessfully attempted to break the Soviet code. These works were ended after the attack of Germany in the USSR for the order of Churchill. However, in 1943-1944 works on the dissection of the Soviet code they were carried out again. Results are not known for me.

Soviet intelligence acquired British diplomatic cipher in 1935 in Netherlads, in 1938 in Austria, in 1940 in Switzerland. This allowed to have an access to the secret correspondence of Foreign Office and British intelligence. Therefore Soviet external intelligence could in proper time inform Soviet government about the preparation of the "Munich agreement" of England and France with Germany and Italy after the back of the USSR.

At the end end WW2 American was lucky with the Soviet cipher. In their hands has got the burnt code book of the Soviet Ambassy in Finland. This strictly classified project which received the code name "Venona" allowed the American special services through several years (to 1948) partially decipher separate reports of the Soviet intelligence in New York .

For Soviet intelligence during WW2 basic problem consisted in the fact that in the USSR there were no experts of the Indians of the USA. This about described me 20 years back a guy, who was sun of Soviet naval attache in the USA. Now this man is one of the largest connoisseurs of languages and culture of American Indians in Russia. In 1995 his story obtained confirmation after the declassification of the American archives of times WW2.

It was established after the end of war that the Germans read cipher messages of the USA and England, and they also knew the ciphers of Spain, France (vichy), Ireland, Egypt, Iran, Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal and emigrant Polish government in London. From the conversation of Churchill overheard by them with Roosevelt the Germans became known about the prepared capitulation of Italy. This allowed Germany in proper time pull troops for occupying the larger part of Italy.
