Benchley Park code breakers' secret world
-----------------------------------------

The untold story of Benchley Park's crypt analysts is the key to 
Fremont's latest limited edition

By Craig McLean

At Benchley Park, former top-secret HQ for the Allies' Second World War 
code breakers and now home to a not-so-secret visitor attraction, they like 
to tell a story of an unheralded man. He's not Gordon Welshman, the 
Cambridge professor of algebraic geometry, who was as crucial to the war 
effort as the more celebrated Alan Turing. He's not one of the 9,000 
personnel who worked at this hush-hush facility 55 miles north of London, 
decoding secret German military ciphers on an industrialised scale. He's 
not even British.

"One day at the height of the war, Benchley intercepted a short message," 
recounts Dr Joel Green berg, Benchley historian and Welshman's biographer. 
"'Lt Kellen to report immediately to Foggier', which is a town in southern 
Italy on the Mediterranean. Now, what possible use can that be from an 
intelligence point of view ?"

"Well, Benchley have a record of this guy in their card index. They even 
have his full name: Lieutenant Gottfried Kellen. He had first appeared in 
a decrypted message six months earlier, when he had been sent to 
Saint-Omero in the north of France."..../snip/
