A well-kept secret...
The formidable work that was going on at Bletchley Park remained secret. The employees — who had signed a document forbidding them from discussing their activities — never broke the silence it dictated. It was only in 1971, when the Official Secrets Act was revoked, that they were finally able tell each other and their family what their work had been there.

Experts have suggested that the Bletchley Park codebreakers may have shortened the war by as much as two years.
Bletchley Park, Milton Keynes
Once a country home, the mansion was acquired by the British government in 1938. It was then refitted to welcome the GC&CS in order to decode messages produced by the infamous Enigma machine. By late 1944, Bletchley Park had a staff of nearly 9,000 people, hired among experts at crossword-puzzle solving and chess, mathematicians and scientists. About three-fourths of the workers were women.
