How One Woman’s “Cipher Trick” Broke Hitler’s Secret Code — Elizabeth Smith Friedman

"How One Woman’s “Cipher Trick” Broke Hitler’s Secret Code — Elizabeth Smith Friedman" In the chaos of World War II, when Nazi codes shielded Hitler’s spies across the Atlantic, one quiet American woman turned the tide of an invisible war. Her name was Elizabeth Smith Friedman — a self-taught cryptanalyst whose mind cracked the unbreakable ciphers that German intelligence believed would never be read. Working in secrecy within the U.S. Coast Guard and later under the Army Signal Intelligence Service, Friedman’s breakthroughs dismantled entire Nazi spy networks in South America, exposed covert operations, and safeguarded Allied supply lines — all without firing a single shot. This documentary reveals her hidden war — from the quiet rooms of Washington D.C. to the global reach of Hitler’s espionage web. It’s a story of intellect over aggression, patience over panic, and a woman whose “cipher trick” helped shorten the most devastating conflict in human history.
