How did they get over the catch-22 that if they used the information that Nazis could guess it came from breaking the code but if they didn’t use the information there was no point in having it.
EDIT. I tagged this as mathematics because the movie suggests the use of mathematics, but does not explain how you use mathematics to do it (it’s a movie!).

It would be extremely hard to detect the difference between a genuinely random pattern and then almost genuinely random pattern.

I believe they let a bunch of soldiers die when they could be saved so it wasn’t revealed they knew some plans of attack.
