B-Dienst
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The B-Dienst (Beobachtungsdienst) was a German Naval codebreaking organisation. During World War II, B-Dienst solved British Naval Cypher No. 3, providing intelligence for the Battle of the Atlantic, until the British Admiralty introduced Naval Cypher No. 5 on 10 June 1943. B-Dienst also solved a number of merchant codes.
