In 1939, several hundred people - students, professors,
international chess players, junior military officers, actresses
and debutantes - reported to a Victorian mansion in
Buckinghamshire: Bletchley Park. This was to be 'Station X', the
Allies' top-secret centre for deciphering enemy codes. Their task
was to break the ingenious Enigma code used for German high-level
communications. The settings for the Enigma machine changed
continually and each day the German operators had 159 million
million million different possibilities. Yet against all the odds
this gifted group achieved the impossible, coping with even greater
difficulties to break Shark, the U-Boat Enigma, and Fish, the
cypher system used by Hitler to talk to his guards.
