Codebreakers. Bletchley Park's Lost Heroes
Description
During World War II, British mathematician Bill Tutte broke a code ten times tougher than Enigma, with the help of engineer Tommy Flowers, who designed the world's first programmable computer to help decipher encrypted German messages. This program tells the story of how Tutte and Flowers, working with a handful of brilliant men at secret intelligence base Bletchley Park, devised a way for Churchill to hack in to Hitler's communications network, winning the war and ushering in the age of computers.
