Stalin know about Kursk before the German launch the attack and prepare their forces in consequence.

If the German military code had not been broken soon in the war and the German spy in England has not become British agents, couldn`t Germany had been more effective.

1-In the sea, the U-boat communicaton were intercepted by the allies, allowing greater chance of success to destroy the U-boat at sea or adopt dissuasive action.

2-In the air, the British has break the Luftwaffe code, allowing the RAF to know exactly where the bomber would go.

3-Finally, on the ground, most of the German army moves were know by the British who share their knowledge with the Soviet Union and removing the element of surprise, and making German operations, especially Barbarossa far more complicated.

Even if Intelligence do not win a war, let assume that the German code were too hard to break and it was the Germans who had broken the British/American code with such efficenty, couldn`t we assume that the German could had more chance by knowing exactly the location of every allies convoy, the allies bombers targets, and by tricking the Soviet by allowing the interception of false message to trick the allies or the Soviet.
