Abstract

This chapter begins with an account of General Nikolai Korneyev about the British mission that discreetly informed Marshal Tito's Supreme Command about a possible German raid, refusing to be be specific in order to avoid compromising the source. It emphasizes that the intelligence of the raid was obtained by breaking the radio communications encrypted by the Enigma cipher machine. It also mentions Captain Franz Kraigher, who was the first to inform the German command about Tito's relocation from Jajce to Drvar. The chapter focuses on the Panther Group's mission on land to determine the suspected location of Tito's Supreme Command, Šobića groblje — the local cemetery. It discusses how the Germans had obtained reliable information about the location of the radio center of Tito's Supreme Command through goniometry and intelligence.
