Ronald Koorm explores the complex relationship between Bletchley Park and its support codebreaking outstations, the background to the Enigma encoding machine, and how Eastcote became the largest codebreaking outstation during the war. He analyzes the development of improvements on Alan Turing's "Bombe" machine, the contribution of the WRNS (Wrens) in operating the machines, and some of the social history in how those Wrens supported the codebreaking sites. Post -war, Eastcote became GCHQ prior to moving to Cheltenham, and there were multiple uses of the site, including anti-spy operations. The author explores the link between Alan Turing and others, in terms of the quest for Artificial Intelligence, and how talented individuals during the war helped shape our future. Backing Bletchley includes previously unpublished diagrams, charts, and illustrations of the story of the outstations, which should further inform the reader as to the extraordinary historical events that occurred.

WW2 Codebreaking People and Places

WW2 Codebreaking People and Places is the first volume of a series on a glossary of codebreaking, ‘People and Places’, 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. while 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. The entries are cross-referenced to enable the reader to research as much or as little as they want, to dip-in to the glossary, to use it as a basis for further study, or just to learn a little more about the people that helped us win the war with our allied friends. .

Women in Allied Naval Intelligence in the Second World War

Closely examining the work of women in the US and British naval services towards Allied naval intelligence during the Second World War, this book focuses on their contributions during the Battle of the Atlantic and Pacific Naval War, in order to shed new light on arenas of war from which women's narratives are almost always absent. Including personal testimonies from those involved, and surveying a wide cross-section of different roles, Sarah-Louise Miller analyses the work of women at every level and rank in the US and British naval services, and offers a much wider picture of how they assisted the Allied forces behind closed doors. With exploration of the work of the WRNS and WAVES on deve...
