Summary:

Arnold Franco, a cryptanalyst during World War II, took a pledge of secrecy along with the other members of 3rd Radio Mobile Squadron (G), assigned to the 9th Air Force. Now, more than 50 years later, the government has declassified the documents pertaining to their work. The men of 3rd RSM acted as a "roving ear," listening to both the wireless and oral German radio transmissions. This "wireless" Intelligence, Diane Putney of the Office of Air Force History states, "has to this day remained hidden in the shadow of ULTRA high-grade signals Intelligence. . . ." Now the story is being told. Franco describes the war as a resolution of a giant drama.
