urning point of the war for the pacific. [389] Again the use of Espionage provided huge results for American’s throughout the war with the Axis.Another importance of espionage in the war was that the Axis powers didn’t know that the Allies intercepted their communications. [392] Also, the British intercepted many messages that were given to the US as well. [392] The agreement they came upon to share intelligence was called the BRUSA. [392] This actually helped join the espionage together to use personnel along with technology of each other together with providing security for the operations. [392] Again the intelligence agencies of the USA helped them in winning the war by combining efforts with their allies.Ultra intelligence played a vital role in every major allied operation in the European, North African, and Mediterranean theatres of the war. [393] For example, it showed the Germans were not prepared for American landings in North Africa in November of 1942.
