No one believed the German's Enigma Code could be broken before or during World War II. Alan Turing and his team at Bletchley Park broke it and experts believe it saved over 2 million lives and reduced the war by two years. Bletchley Park, located 60 miles north of London, is where 12,000 people worked every day, though they knew nothing of the code breaking until 1987. This presentation will be a history of Alan Turing, the breaking of the code, and this special place called Bletchley Park.
