Bletchley Park was home to GCHQ during World War II. We follow the code breakers from their origins in World War I to how the Enigma machine was broken in Poland in the 1930s. Once installed in Buckinghamshire, what was life and work like in the huge intelligence factory where over 9000 people worked non-stop and so secretively?
How were the many challenges of signals intelligence met, with both extraordinary brains and new technology? What part did Bedford play in the story? What were BP’s great successes (especially D Day) and what happened to BP and its people once war was over?
