British code-breakers at Bletchley Park had, with the help of their Polish allies, had considerable success in decoding the Enigma-enciphered traffic of the German Air Force, Army and intelligence and counter-espionage service (Abwehr), but little with the German Naval messages. The methods of communicating the choice, and starting positions, of Enigma's rotors, the indicator, was much more complex for naval messages. In late summer 1940 Dilly Knox, the veteran World War I codebreaker, Frank Birch, head of Bletchley Park's German Naval Department, and the two leading code-breakers, Alan Turing and Peter Twinn knew that a pinch of the German Navy Enigma documentation was their best chance of making progress in breaking the code.[1]
The Royal Navy's Operational Intelligence Centre (OIC) was a leading user of Ultra intelligence from Bletchley Park's decrypts. Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming of the Admiralty's Naval Intelligence Division, who later wrote the James Bond novels, was the personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence, Rear Admiral John Godfrey. Fleming liaised with the naval department at Bletchley Park, visiting about twice a month, and was well aware of this problem.[2]
In September, Fleming wrote a note to Godfrey which read:
I suggest we obtain the loot by the following means:
1. Obtain from Air Ministry an air-worthy German bomber.
2. Pick a tough crew of five, including a pilot, W/T operator and word-perfect German speaker. Dress them in German Air Force uniform, add blood and bandages to suit.
3. Crash plane in the Channel after making S.O.S. to rescue service in P/L.
4. Once aboard rescue boat, shoot German crew, dump overboard, bring rescue boat back to English port.
In order to increase the chances of capturing an R. or M. with, its richer booty, the crash might be staged in mid-Channel. The Germans would presumably employ one of this type for the longer and more hazardous journey.
The plan was that the German bomber would follow on behind the aircraft from a returning night bombing raid. When crossing the middle of the English Channel, it would cut one engine and lose height with smoke pouring from a 'candle' in the tail, send out a SOS distress signal and then ditch in the sea. The crew would then take to a rubber dinghy, having ensured that the bomber sank before the Germans could identify it, and wait to be rescued by a German naval vessel. When on board the 'survivors' would then kill the German crew, and hijack the ship, thus obtaining the Enigma documentation.[3] Fleming had penciled in his own name against one member of the crew but, as someone who knew about Bletchley Park, he could not be allowed to risk capture. A German Heinkel was prepared with an aircrew of German-speaking Englishmen.
The operation was planned for the early part of the month because it was known that the code sheets were changed at the start of each month.

Commander Ian Fleming RNVR 1939-51 wrote the James Bond 007 books/movies for the Information Research Division (IRD) of MI6-SIS who he worked for as a Master Spy under journalistic cover from 1933-39 and 1945-1964 when he was murdered (as concluded by legendary investigative reporter, Jim Marrs to me) to prevent him publicly condemning the Warren Commission white wash of the CIA's group ambush murder of his friend, President John F. Kennedy.
