    WW2 CODEBREAKERS

    Thought I would switch to CODEBREAKERS as a topic as I went recently to Bletchley Park and was staggered at how 9,000 women worked on that small site and di such a fantastic job bringing the war to an early conclusion by de coding so much work in double quick time.

    Share with you some short BBC videos on work by these clever people 75 years on at Bletchley and how things changed when they had the Enigma decoded.

    I remember a few years back ( alright , maybe a lot of years ) of a news article of a carrier pidgin from WW2 found in a chimney with a coded note attached to it's leg some 50 years after it had fallen in . Nobody could decipher it .
