Kullback was one of the original three 'junior cryptanalysts' hired by Wil

r the better part of a decade\, Kullback\, together with William Friedman\

against the codes and ciphers of potential enemies\, and the nucleus of th
e Army communications intelligence (COMINT) service thereafter.\n\nThe ori
ginal members of SIS were a unique quartet\, men who ought to be national
heroes. Their love was as much for the process as the result\, the cryptan
alysis as the intelligence derived from it\, but what they did\, the break
throughs against the high-level code and cipher systems of our principal e
nemies\, surely shortened the period of war by many months and resulted in
the saving of thousands of American and British lives.\n\nYears later\, i
n an interview with NSA's oral historian\, Solomon Kullback was modest abo
ut his accomplishments\, but made a telling comment about his activities a
gainst German cryptography. He still recalled many of the details of these
systems\, described them in considerable detail\, and commented: 'They we
re a lot of fun.'
