> Some of the secrecy was to make Churchill look good. Surely the secrecy was critical to the ongoing success (if the Germans suspected they could improve their opsec if not completely change their systems)? Given that how do you instruct the general while leaking the absolute minimum about your knowledge? Now a side effect may have been to make Churchill look good but for the duration of the war confidence in leadership would have been a generally good thing. I don't know how much Churchill played up his abilities after the war but to be honest it doesn't really worry me.
