(at around twelve mins) When the "new hires" are in the conference room and being introduced to the Enigma machine, Denniston says that the settings change at midnight and the first transmission using the new settings is at 6:00 AM. This implies that there was radio silence for six hours during the night (i.e., no enciphered messages), which is not true at all. The usual case was that the settings were changed at midnight and traffic started minutes thereafter. Denniston also says that they have eighteen hours to "break the code" and then they had to start again, but work on deciphering could continue past midnight and even days later.
