Enigma rotor capture
Posted by: Ron Clayton ()

<HTML>Hi, can anyone help ?
I\'m carrying out research into the capture of Enigma machines and associated material, ( much, though by no means all, from U-boats ), and I\'ve come to a dead end.
From various sources I know that number VIII rotor or rotors were catured in August 1940 but I can\'t verify the precise nature of the capture. There seems to be no records available, even at Bletchley Park, ( where I happen to be a volunteer ),
other than the bland statement \'more rotors were captured in August 1940\'.
Two U-Boats were sunk during this month U25 and U51, but there is no mention of a code material capture of any kind from either incident.
Does anyone have any information as to the capture of these rotors from a U boat or other wise ?</HTML>
