This led to duplicated effort, to a fragmentation of potential, and to lower efficiency than might have been achieved. There was no central German cryptography agency comparable to the British Bletchley Park facility.

Hubert Sumlin died 13 days after the recording session for "Cracking The Code" and the album captures his last ever recorded performance.
