For those of you who may have missed the BBC-2 TV "Code-breakers" last night ( Tuesday 25th October ), it is going to be repeated on Saturday 29th October in UK. It is also available on BBC website for the NEXT 10 DAYS only. I though it was mostly very good, especially the visit by Captain Jerry Roberts to B.P. Martin Code-Breakers : Bletchley Park's Lost Heroes -------------------------------------------- Documentary that reveals the secret story behind one of the greatest intellectual feats of World War II, a feat that gave birth to the digital age. In 1943, a 24-year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack into Hitler's personal super-code machine - not Enigma but an even tougher system, which he called his 'secrets writer'. Their break turned the Battle of Kursk, powered the D-day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in Europe. But it was also to be used during the Cold War - which meant both men's achievements were hushed up and never officially recognised. - Sat 29 Oct 2011 20:40 BBC Two ( except Northern Ireland, Wales ) - Sat 29 Oct 2011 20:40 BBC HD http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016ltm0 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b016ltm0 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00l9j3g http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00l9j0v http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tv/2011/10/ww2-documentaries-agent-zigzag-dambusters.shtml http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMu8UiHJHgs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9BPTSegLSs&feature=related http://www.britmovie.co.uk/forums/british-television/110337-code-breakers-bletchley-parks-lost-heroes.html
