The Imitation Game

The Secret service made sure that no one knew about the Enigma cracking machine, Christopher. They keept it away from the prime minister, the army and the population. The reason for this is that they could not let Nazi-Germany know that they had cracked enigma. They decided to only deal with the Intel that could give them big strategic opportunities, and things that the Nazis won’t notice. They fed some Intel to the soviet spies and some to the Nazi spies, as well as they gave some to the British army, as if it was the British spies in Germany telling the army about it. In this way they down prioritised the civilians, knowing witch civilians will die and not doing anything about it.

In my opinion, the MI7 did the right thing, even dough they let civilians die. I think that it was more important to win the war, than to save civilians. If they had not done this much more people may have died. I think that it was a smart tactical move to feed the soviet spy’s information. In this way they could direct them and in a way control them.
