WW2 codebreaking people and places : a wartime glossary
Koorm, Ronald2024
Books
This volume brings to the reader an easily understandable account and listing, of those involved in collecting and analysing military intelligence, principally during the Second World War. Whilst some will be well known, such as Alan Turing, many others have made significant contributions to codebreaking but fail to attract the attention of the media for the most part. From an individual named 'Wren' who worked at a codebreaking outstation supporting Bletchley Park, to a mathematician who modified a codebreaking machine just prior to D-Day, to a ladies foundationwear factory in Hertfordshire that helped make machine components, these people and places now can be appreciated as to where they fitted-in within the overall picture of gathering, and processing enemy intelligence in wartime.
