Details | Fearing that the Soviet Union would make a separate peace with Germany during World War II, the US tried to break Soviet diplomatic code and succeeded. The codename for this cryptanalysis operation is Veonoa. What Venona revealed was an astonishing fact that the Soviet Union carried out large-scale espionage operations against its ally, the US.
