Did a 1940s Nazi metadata workflow become the secret skeleton of the modern-day internet? Discover how Allied intelligence groups (TICOM) took German SIGINT procedures to develop the monitoring and networking foundations we use today.
TL; DR: This documentary discovers the hidden link between WWII German traffic analysis and the architecture of the contemporary internet. We trace how Nazi filing plans for "externals" (metadata) were absorbed by the early NSA and later mirrored in ARPA's networking protocols, telecom billing, and Web 2.0 behavioral tracking.
