At the strategic core of the Allied naval effort in the Battle of the Atlantic were Commander Rodger Winn of the Admiralty Operational Intelligence Centre and US Navy Commander Kenneth Knowles of their F-21 Atlantic Section. Together, Winn and Knowles influenced the most pivotal decisions and operations in the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and other naval theaters as well. They fostered an atmosphere of Anglo-American cooperation that was described by Patrick Beesly as "probably closer than between any other British and American organizations in any service and in any theatre." |
