SUMMARY:Britain Listening – How Bletchley Park helped win World War 2
DESCRIPTION:Bletchley Park was a typical British country house and estate in Buckinghamshire which few had heard of until the early 1990s. Yet, it was a key part in the allied victory over the Axis Powers during World War 2. Only recently has the true story of the work of the people there been able to be told.\n \nThe site was a key part of allied code breaking, but also so much more. The birth of computing which transformed the world during the postwar period started at Bletchley. As did the British electronics industry. Plus, major sea changes in global telecommunications which we are so reliant on in the twenty-first century.\n \nIn this course, historian Dr. Richard Marks will take you on a journey through the history of the ‘Government Code & Cypher School’. You will discover what was done there, and the people who did it. The course will also look at how Bletchley fitted into British intelligence and worked alongside organisations such as SOE, MI6 and the American OSS in Europe, North Africa and the Far East.\n \nFind out what ‘The Bombe’, ‘Lorenz’, ‘Ultra’ were, and who some of the unknown people working in the shadows were.\n \n\nThis is a four week face-to-face course with sessions on: July 11th & 25th and August 1st & 8th. All sessions run from 11am – 1pm.\nPre-booking is required.\nImage: Bletchley Park, public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.\nTo book, scroll down.\n\n
