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!). I am wondering for example if they made a slight tweak to random search patterns so that they still looked random but “coincidentally” found what we already knew was there. It would be extremely hard to detect the difference between a genuinely random pattern and then almost genuinely random pattern.

There was one instance where the allies knew of an impending air raid on a particular city in the UK.
To not tip their hand, the allies conducted an emergency response training session in the area. The air raid happened as normal, but the aftermath was greatly reduced because there were plenty of emergency workers and supplies nearby.
