[Colin Glassey] The Code Breakers
Diamond Geezer has a nice post about the aniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. He justly celebrates the British code breakers who, day after day, broke German codes. I remember the first time I ran into this secret, it was published in a book called "The Ultra Secret" and I didn't believe it. I could not believe that we had so much detailed information about the German war plans. Now I know we did have this information and it helped us throughout the war.
As a software engineer I have the greatest respect for Alan Turing, the top brain behind the code breakers. Here is a good site on the code breakers of Bletchley Park
