Biographical / Historical
Andreas Figl (1873-1967) founded Austrian cryptanalysis in the years before World War I and led it to great successes during that conflict. He wrote a standard work on cryptography that was published in 1926, a study of cryptanalysis that the Austrian government kept from being published, and a memoir of his work during World War I. During World War II, he was drafted into doing cryptanalysis for Nazi Germany but served only 18 months in Berlin before being released.
