Intelligence history throughout stranger things pt 1
I'm working on a longer post for the bits of cryptologic history that's laced throughout stranger things. What's crazy is how many items whether D&D or History related are layered usually up to three times.
I'm still going with humanity is being threatened because NSA had an existential threat go rogue and now don't have the tools to fight the cold war, because the Nazis won ww2 somehow.
It's extremely interesting that will fashions himself as a wizard [or sorcerer] with lightning in his hands. This is a common symbol of groups within intelligence agencies that have to do with communication. Morse/Manual Morse code would fall into this category.
Classic Wizard is an ELINT program that used telemetry during the cold war for tracking soviet [though every country uses some variation of this tech] missle launches both ICBMs and SLBMs.
There is a GLARING throughline here and I wish I could talk to the consultants. I'd love to see their notes. Did they use cryptologic history parts 1-4? Maybe!
