It is an article in The Jewish Cronicle, commemorating the passing of a Jewish codebreaker.
As the article says, many codebreakers were Jewish and many were Zionist, including Newman and Good and others who did so much to break the Lorenz cipher (codenamed Tunny at Bletchley).
The article mentions Churchill's letters published in The Jewish Cronicle, based on Ultra codebreaks, and mentions modern day cooperation with Israeli sigint in the Middle East.
There were lots of nationalities and ethnicities involved at Bletchley an the big effort. A lot has been written about the American contribution, the Polish contribution and so on. Why not also the Jewish contribution? It doesn't detract from the supreme effort and parts all played at Bletchley?
