00:02.840 --> 00:06.520
Mhm Yeah , intelligence was the

00:06.520 --> 00:08.590
crucial element in the United States

00:08.590 --> 00:11.430
victory . It meant Amanda Rosenberg

00:11.440 --> 00:13.440
headed the code breaking network at

00:13.450 --> 00:17.190
Hawaii and it was his team's job to

00:17.190 --> 00:18.746
intercept all Japanese Navy

00:18.746 --> 00:22.660
communications . Roosevelt was able to

00:22.670 --> 00:24.614
fairly conclusively determine that

00:24.614 --> 00:26.726
Midway was going to be the target for

00:26.726 --> 00:28.920
the Japanese strike . After his brush

00:28.920 --> 00:31.142
would have broken this code , however ,

00:31.142 --> 00:33.142
he still had to convince the United

00:33.142 --> 00:35.309
States higher command . Admiral Nimitz

00:35.309 --> 00:37.531
was fairly convinced . When he saw this

00:37.531 --> 00:39.364
information brought before him .

00:39.364 --> 00:41.309
Intelligence breaking required the

00:41.309 --> 00:43.198
correlation of a lot of different

00:43.198 --> 00:45.770
information . Rose ford , you know ,

00:45.770 --> 00:47.937
never sought out credit for his work .

00:48.540 --> 00:50.651
He always praised the team as a whole

00:50.651 --> 00:52.540
because the intelligence breaking

00:52.540 --> 00:53.700
wasn't a single individual .
