    Just reading about the Lucy Spy Ring in Switzerland during WW11, it appears

    the ring were equipped with an Enigma machine to enable them receive

    intelligence from a high level in Germany . This info apparently was passed

    onto British spy agency, but to get this info the Lucy Spy ring would have

    needed to have the Enigma settings for that day???If the Lucy Spy Ring had

    the settings it begs the question why this vital Enigma settings information

    was not passed to Bletchley Park.

    Was Alan Turing tearing his hair out needlessly !
