      OTD 1943: #OSS Director “Wild Bill” Donovan created the Counterintelligence Division in the Secret Intelligence Branch—the 1st centralized, national-level CI office in US intelligence history, & predecessor of the CIA’s Counterintelligence Mission Center. http://bit.ly/2F3Lp4b pic.twitter.com/YLhdZIKMI1

      Before #WWII, US didn’t have military, intel, or colonial interests outside Western Hemisphere requiring a large-scale effort to protect clandestine operations. Security & counterintelligence ops had been undertaken as needed by @FBI, @USArmy’s G-2 branch, & Office of Naval Intel

      Early in #WWII, British began supplying #OSS with extensive information about foreign military, espionage, & sabotage activities, the most sensitive of which came from ULTRA—decrypted intercepts of German military messages sent with the Enigma machine.pic.twitter.com/GxHPL4ca71

          Due to volume of traffic & need for compartmentalization, Brits insisted #OSS set up a separate, extra-secure component to handle material. So, Donovan created the Counterintelligence Division in the Secret Intelligence Branch, which conducted espionage operations in war zones.

          As the CI Division’s work grew along with the need for the #OSS to build counterintelligence networks of its own, on June 15, 1943, Donovan reconfigured it into a branch-level office called X-2. In September, the main X-2 Branch office moved from New York to Washington.

          By 1945, X-2 had amassed hundreds of thousands of files on foreign espionage & sabotage that included the identities of foreign agents & firms used as cover by hostile services. Units within X-2 addressed specific CI functions.

          In the field, X-2 operated its own comms channels & field bases. X-2 also had clandestine liaison relationships w services in liberated France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark & Norway. X-2 Branch’s #WWII successes informed CIA’s approach to counterintelligence. http://bit.ly/2F3Lp4b

          The code brakers of Enigma were - in 1932 - Polish mathematicians (Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski i Jerzy Różycki). Polish intelligence service presented the results of their work to French and British Allies five weeks before the WW2.

          Nope. It was Polish cryptologists. Turing merely developed their method and made it more efficient. A feat nonetheless but he did not break enigma. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine …
