The Royal Navy did capture one yes but Sunray isdown is quite correct the polish had made a break through in the enigma code and passed it on to us before we captured one or any code books for that matter many brave men died trying to get those convoys across and over 30000 of the 40000 Uboat men died too they say we all have a freedom of speech well people have to learn any sort of freedom costs many many men’s lives freedom in any guise is never free and the price of freedom is always too much
The US actually didn’t get an enigma machine until June 4, 1944 when the U505 was captured. Before then, the US was given information about German Sub activities. So basically the capture of U505 by the US Navy did absolutely nothing to help end the war. The movie U571 misleads people into thinking that the US cracked the German codes, totally inaccurate.
