Title: Government Code and Cypher School: Tactical Sigint forwarded to Allied Commands: Summaries
Description:

This series consists of intelligence reports prepared in Hut 3 at Bletchley Park, for transmission to allied commands abroad. These reports were paraphrases of the reports as sent to home establishments, to conceal that they were derived from decrypts of enemy cypher messages. Much of the series duplicates reports already released by the Ministry of Defence, but it includes reports which were previously withheld and some additional related material.
