Bletchley Park, known to those who worked there as Station X, was
the scene of one of the greatest Allied triumphs of the Second
World War. The breaking of the Nazi Enigma cyphers by Britain's
wartime code-breakers continues to fascinate, with well over
100,000 people visiting the scene of their successes every year.
Bletchley Park provided the intelligence that ensured Allied
victories in the Battle of Atlantic, the war in North Africa and,
most crucially, the D-Day invasion of Europe, and it was also the
birthplace of the modern computer. The code-breakers were led by
men like Dilly Knox and Alan Turing, but also included thousands of
'ordinary' people, the vast majority of them young women. This book
contains previously unpublished photographs showing them at work
and play. It not only explains how their work influenced the battle
against Nazi Germany and its Italian and Japanese allies, but also
describes how they lived and loved.
