Why would he have "escaped" from Sweden to Switzerland at the beginning of WWII? As Sweden wasn't in the war, I think this calls for some explanation. / Uppland 04:52, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

In Codebreakers. Arne Beurling and the Swedish... (see ref. -- NB that this is not the book Codebreakers about Turing breaking and the Enigma at Bletchley Park), several of his trips between Sweden, France, Germany, Italy, USA, and Switzerland in these years are described. Not only the word "escaped" needs to be fixed. We should also need an explanation of why Boris Hagelin was so immediately USA friendly, as opposed to many other Swedes of this time. Another question is whether Boris was related to Ragnar & sv:Dagmar Hagelin of Argentina? --LA2 17:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Article expansion edit

Would be great if this article could be expanded. How did the encryption machines work? Who used them? Could they be cracked? etc. Socrates2008 (Talk) 10:48, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

The page on cryptography can provide general mechanisms. 143.232.210.46 (talk) 23:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Production edit

The page can use a count or tally of the number of M-209 made. 143.232.210.46 (talk) 23:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Scope edit

This article is too short. Read this Bilanz piece for starters. -> Let us expand his anti-crypto role. Zezen (talk) 05:55, 30 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
