or more specifically, Christopher Tolkien, by the author of the article. It wouldn't suprise me if his father might have mentioned this to him at some point in his latter years. It would obviously not been put into any written form as this was still classifed I'm sure at the time of the professor's death, but even a passing comment he may have made to his family might be illuminating and of historical interest.
"Alas for Boromir! It was too sore a trial!" -Faramir, reflecting on his brother.

Some of this has been public knowledge for at least 28 years.

I cannot read the fiery letters. Sauron must have been using a four-rotor Enigma./

After they parachuted into Berlin by night, Tolkien was appalled when Turing blew their cover by mincing down the Unter der Linden...

It's a pity that some journalists feel like they must do this to sell a story
