Actually having the German naval code had little affect on the German war effort because most of it was on land. and the US Navy broke SOME of the IJN codes.

If you look at it both England and France were ill prepared for war. They honestly believed that after WWI that no one would be insane enough to start another war. So the troops were ill led and ill-equipped with WWI equipment and tactics. The tax payers in neither country were willing to pay for better equipped forces.

Now take a look at the US Navy who refused to believe the power of aircraft and the value of the carrier. They still had visions of crossing the T and battle ship battle lines. That's how you won naval victories. And all of the senior naval brass were battleship sailors. They only reason that we adapted so quickly was that we had no other options. You really think the brass was so stupid to leave Pearl so unprotected? They had picket lines out. They were expecting to have plenty of notice if Japan tried something. Yep, the pickets would inform the fleet who would then have plenty of time to get up steam, up anchor and sail forth with the battleships to meet the Japanese fleet also being led by battleships. The surprise at Pearl wasn't the attack. It was an attack by aircraft!

So with both England and the US going into a war ill prepared with poor equipment and not enough troops it's surprising that Hitler messed up enough to lose.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
