DJ has some wear, tears and soiling. Sir Francis Harry Hinsley OBE (26 November 1918 – 16 February 1998) was a historian and cryptanalyst. He worked at Bletchley Park during the WWII and wrote widely on the history of international relations and British Intelligence during the WWII. Hinsley helped initiate a programme of seizing Enigma machines and keys from German weather ships, such as the Lauenburg, thereby facilitating Bletchley Park's resumption of breaking of German Naval Enigma. Hinsley produced, with others, the multi-volume official history British Intelligence in the Second World War, and argued that Enigma decryption speeded Allied victory by 1–4 years while not altering the war's outcome.
