I'm just a bit curious Lucy about the German Language link. For the most part the messages would have been encrypted, either by Enigma or other devices. However knowledge of the German language could have been very useful examining the 'preamble' or 'closing' part of the message, which might provide a 'crib' which could be a way into the subsequent code.
As you say the story seems to be missing many facts and details, but there's little doubting the phenomenal contribution those listeners made.
