This is the question, everything else is

It was the code-books which came with the machine which the British captured on a U-boat which was important .

]where America helped was that we had "computers" that could go through thousands of combinations a day until it worked.

Not computers, but calculating machines called 'Bombs' to help work out the variables.
It was the British who developted a computer called 'Colssus' to help break the code.


clue
While the movie or enigma had nothing to do with the action I'm looking for, it was used as an example by the movie makers to show that WW2 submarines could engage one another while both underwater.

The year was 1945, and it was a case of nothing 'ventured', nothing gained.

The code words used to indicate success were,
Tora !, Tora ! Tora !
Tora is Japanese for Tiger.

ps, The sub question hasn't been answered yet.

The rule is to only ask a question, after you have correctly answered the previous one.
