Description: World War 2 - Bletchley Park Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) was a British signals intelligence agency established in 1919 to merge the Army and Navy’s intelligence units. During World War II, it operated from Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, where it became the principal center for Allied code breaking, famously deciphering German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers. The agency’s work, known as Ultra intelligence, is credited by experts with shortening the war by two to four years. Key figures included Alan Turing, who helped develop the Bombe and contributed to Colossus, the world’s first programmable electronic computer.
