The Germans would send Japan a submarine--boat U-864--packed with their most advanced rocket and jet aircraft technology. Japan could then reestablish air superiority in the Pacific, drawing the attention of Allied forces long enough for Germany to regroup. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeanwhile, British code breakers, working with the Norwegian underground, had discovered the plan.
