At last recognition for some unsung heroes of WWII. People that worked at Bletchley Park are to receive recognition for their contribution during WWII.
Tasked with cracking the Enigma and other codes used by the Germans, they proved that diligent and very hard work resulted in successes that really shorten the length of the war and saved many lives, particularly the many conveys that supplied an isolated Britain.
They also contributed to the early use of computers for analysis of complex problems. However, this work was not carried after the war as all evidence of its use being destroyed or covered up on orders by Churchill and other leaders. Sadly, with hindsight a massive, massive error, that forever cost has this country dearly.
I’ve posted about Bletchley and its use of computers before, however these awards are really about the people behind the technologies and deservedly getting the recognition that they rightly deserved.
