On this day in 1941 an operation was conducted off the Norwegian coast;
the objective was to raid the armed German trawler "Krebs" (!) and capture
an Enigma. The machine was chucked overboard, but some documents were
taken which gave an insight into the Enigma's workings, and enabled the
German Navy to be tracked for a few weeks.
