During World War II the German armed
forces top secret codes were broken at Bletchley Park, providing the
allies with vital information towards their war effort. Situated 50
miles North-West of London, the site played host to a diverse group of
code breakers, including Alan Turing and Dilly Knox. Among the ciphers
that were broken were Enigma and Lorenz.
Against seemingly insurmountable odds, the code breakers devised methods
to allow them to successfully read enemy codes, often within a few hours
of the messages being received by the outlying Y-stations. New
technology was invented to automate the deciphering of messages.
Colossus, the world’s first semi-programmable computer was invented at
Bletchley Park to aid the decoding of Lorenz ciphers, which were used by
the German high command to send classified communications.
Bletchley Park is now open daily and offers a wide range of exhibits and
special events catering for cryptography experts and the merely curious.
