This is the way I heard the radio buzzed and hummed struggling to home in on the right frequency interference was distracting, but the code breakers highly trained ear was the best in the air force and now all his concentration was focused on picking out the distant rhythms banging through. The ether did dad it, God did. Dada did did bowed Dada the tones fast and furious, buried and static. But the code breaker heard their message loud and clear, and their message was big news. He checked his transcription twice.

Before he left his post he knew he was good, very good in fact, but you didn't want to get this one wrong. Dad did did for de a single did for ye did die for a and that another d d, a the young airman removed his headphones and contemplated the impact of what he had just learned, the most it Various mass murderer in the history of the world was dead and right now, huh he was the only American who know it. He rose stiffly and shook out the king. The long lonely hours hunched over the receiver were wearing on his back and hips

I have some news said the goat breaker and I have a door said: the superior, maybe you'd care to knock on it before entering the code. Breaker just stood and waited his soon to be trade mark. Snarl curled across his rugged face- is there's something you need airman, not particularly replied the code breaker in his distinctive baritone. I just thought your boss might like to know that Joseph Stalin is dead.

He listens for new information hidden in the static, but heard nothing so he wrote a plaintive letter to his girl back home, nothing about his work. Of course that was forbidden and he knew his letters would be read carefully by the sensors. He just ordinary loved her and MR and look forward to the day when his time was once a and his own later, though. As you know, awakened steel, bunk, pondering the gray walls and the bad food, the restricted privileges and the officious bosses, the call the shots.

It was a movie about another group of men stuck together far from home. They too were living in tight quarters. They too were confined against their will and they too, who were desperately lonely. The code breaker understood their pain and resolved to put it into a language that everybody else can undressed and that night, the young airman who missed his sweetheart and yearn to escape, is posed in Germany, reached again for his old guitar and captured the nuances and rhythms of loneliness and isolation.
