Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park is a place of exceptional historical importance. It remains highly relevant to our lives today and for the future. It is the home of British codebreaking and a birthplace of modern information technology. It played a major role in World War Two, producing secret intelligence which had a direct and profound influence on the outcome of the conflict.

The true story of Bletchley Park is more incredible than fiction.  In a desperate race against time, the WW2 code breaker's mission was to crack the German Enigma machine and decode other seemingly unbreakable messages.  Their reward?  'Ultra" Intelligence that saved the Allied convoys carrying essential supplies from U Boat wolf packs, which were continuously on the prowl. 

Bletchley Park was Churchill's secret passion and he referred to the code breakers as "the geese that laid the golden eggs and never cackled".
