Frederick William Winterbotham CBE (16 April 1897 - 28 January 1990) was a British Royal Air Force officer (latterly a Group Captain) who during World War II supervised the distribution of Ultra intelligence. His book The Ultra Secret was the first popular account of Ultra to be published in Britain. In 1974, Winterbotham's book, The Ultra Secret, was the first book in English about Ultra, and it explained what Ultra was, and revealed Winterbotham's role, particularly with regard to the dissemination and use of Ultra. Winterbotham's book was the first extensive account of the uses to which the massive volumes of Enigma-derived intelligence were put by the Allies, on the western and eastern European fronts, in the Mediterranean, North Africa, and most crucially, in the Battle of the Atlantic. Winterbotham acknowledged that he had only slight understanding of the cryptologic side of the multi-faceted and compartmentalized Ultra operation. Noted in the book is the myth of Churchill and the Coventry Blitz. Coventry was severely bombed by the Luftwaffe on the night of 14-15 November. Winterbotham asserted that Enigma decrypts provided warning of the raid but that Churchill decided not to take countermeasures that might alert the Germans that the British were reading Enigma. This story has been refuted by historians. Winterbotham concluded that the war's outcome "was, in fact, a very narrow shave, and the reader may like to ponder [...] whether or not we might have won had we not had Ultra". Derived from a Kirkus review: Blackly amused reminiscences by the best-selling author of The Ultra Secret, who tells about his activities as a double agent, working for RAF air intelligence while deep into dalliance with the Nazi air force in the Thirties and supposedly giving them secrets. Winterbotham himself is "the Nazi connection" and his biggest hook-ups are with Alfred Rosenberg, the anti-Bolshevik architect of Hitler's Aryan myth, who was also the editor of the Party newspaper. Through Rosenberg, Winterbotham came to Hitler's attention and Goering's, and since the Nazis wanted to prove they had no animus toward Britain, they befriended Winterbotham so that he would take Hitler's peace murmurings straight to Whitehall. Meanwhile, Winterbotham was setting up his RAF intelligence apparatus and getting big secrets out of Germany. Too big! Nobody would believe him when he described the Stuka dive bomber as it had been described to him at the Luftwaffe Club in Berlin; the RAF people dismissed the very idea of dive-bombing as "a waste of time and energy. . ." But the RAF itself is a junior service arm and not much respected--no one (except the Germans) expects wars to be fought in the air. A master spy who went into the field urbanely reviews the Nazis., Harper & Row, 1978, 2.75<

NOISBN, Jacket, 222 pp., 8 1/2" H. "Even before the Nazis came to power in the 1930s, Frederick Winterbotham was sent by British Intelligence to Germany to befriend the Nazi leaders and learn as much as he could about their plans. After Hitler took over the government in 1933, he continued his assignment, meeting with Hitler himself, Goering, Rosenberg and a number of generals, visiting military bases, witnessing manoeuvres, and assessing the capabilities of the new German Air Force. He played his role so well over the years that the Germans fully accepted him as a loyal friend. He describes how he was recruited for this dangerous job, how he obtained other agends (once carrying $10,000 in a suitcase to pay one of them), what it was like entertaining young German pilots so that they would tell him what he wanted to know, and how he learned which high French officials were on the Nazi payroll. His chronicle is full of anecdotes about agents, double agents and Nazi officials. The result is an absolutely fascinating inside account of a top-level spy at work."
