That piece makes it sound like Alan Turing was the only codebreaker working on cracking the German encryption in the UK !

There were thousands of codebreakers by wars end, three quarters of them women. The few survivors still keep their secret work secret too !

It is good that the women are finally receiving some credit for their service.

Yes good to see.
There is a TV series about 4 of the Bletchley Park woman who continue to solve Mysteries after WW2. Not a bad show at least in Season 1.

Yep - it's called 'The Bletchley Circle' - a good watch!

Missed this one. Thanks for posting it. Arlington Hall Station was the HQ for the Army Security Agency. I have to look into this book to add to my collection about such things. When the Cryptologic Museum reopens I can check there.
