Whaddon Hall was MI6, whereas | Bletchley Park was GCHQ (GC&CS back then). | | The title of the linked article uses the wording "Bletchley Park- | linked" which seems more accurate! | tpmx wrote: | Indeed. Ended up being a little disappointed after first | excitedly following the links to the source video. | | dang - the title should be updated. | gpvos wrote: | The actual film isn't linked from the article, but here it is: | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvVaFE5O3eY | sxg wrote: | I highly, highly recommend "The Code Book" by Simon Singh if | you're interested in cryptography. It has a chapter on Bletchley | Park and tells the stories of several of its cryptographers, | including Alan Turing and the Enigma cipher. | rajandatta wrote: | An excellent and entertaining read! Highly recommended. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-04-04 23:00 UTC)
