In November 2019, he was the guest of honour at our exhibition

(Netherlands). In the image on the right he inspects an extremely rare
German cipher machine, the SG-41 (Hitlermuhle) —
the machine that was intended to replace Enigma.
As the last living eye witness who worked on and with the
German spy radio sets during WWII,
