Bletchley Park was occupied by the HQ of Britain's cryptanalytic and signals intelligence organisation, the Government Code and Cypher School between August 1939 and March 1946. Here some of the best brains of Britain were pitted against the enemy's enciphered communications during the Second World War. Their success forged for Britain a decisively powerful intelligence weapon which saved countless lives and helped significantly to shorten the war.

IEEE Milestone in Electrical Engineering and Computing Code-breaking at Bletchley Park during World War II, 1939-45. On this site during the 1939-45 World War, 12,000 men and women broke the German Lorenz and Enigma ciphers, as well as Japanese and Italian codes and ciphers. They used innovative mathematical analysis and were assisted by two computing machines developed here by teams led by Alan Turing: the electro-mathematical Bombe developed with Gordon Welchman, and the electronic Colossus designed by Tommy Flowers. These achievements greatly shortened the war, thereby saving countless lives.
