> Bletchley Park. Headquarters of British code-breaking during World
> War II, Bletchley was "Britain's best kept secret" -- the place
> where the German Enigma was finally deciphered in an incredible
> cooperative super-effort. Detailed tutorials for the mathematically
> inclined explain how the Enigma cipher machine worked and how the
> Lorenz code was broken by the British-built Colossus machine. A
> Bletchley Park photo album presents snapshots of an ordinary-looking,
> extraordinary place.
