  • Joan Clarke at Station X
    Joan Clarke at Station X Before Joan Clarke worked at Bletchley Park’s Hut 8, she already knew Alan Turing. He was a friend of Joan’s brother. A very intelligent young woman, Joan studied mathematics at Cambridge University’s Newnham College. Gordon Welchman, who was working for the Government Code & Cypher School in the late 1930s, recruited Joan to work at Bletchley Park. He’d been her Geometry supervisor at Cambridge. At the time, women did not typically fill important jobs at Bletchley Park (or anywhere else throughout Britain). So ... at the beginning of her work at Station X ... Joan filled a clerical slot. It took very little time, however, for Joan to get her “own table” inside Hut 8. This promotion effectively placed her on Turing’s code-breaking team. Not only did Joan do great work at Bletchley, by 1944 she was deputy-head of the Hut-8 team. During the early part of her work at Station X, Joan had been promoted to a “Linguist,” even though she wasn’t fluent in other languages. (It was just a way for her to receive better pay for her work.) She once answered a questionnaire with these words: Grade: Linguist, Languages: None. When she first became a Hut-8 code breaker, Joan worked with Alan Turing, Tony Kendrick and Peter Twinn. Their actual work focused on breaking Germany’s Naval Enigma code (which the Station X workers had codenamed “Dolphin”). Joan and Alan Turing became very close friends and, in 1941, the head of Hut 8 asked his friend to become his wife.

  • The Influence of ULTRA in the Second World War [ Changed 26Th November 1996 ]
    The Influence of ULTRA in the Second World War [ Changed 26th November 1996 ] Last year Sir Harry Hinsley kindly agreed to speak about Bletchley Park, where he worked during the Second World War. We are pleased to present a transcript of his talk. Sir Harry Hinsley is a distinguished historian who during the Second World War worked at Bletchley Park, where much of the allied forces code-breaking effort took place. We are pleased to include here a transcript of his talk, and would like to thank Susan Cheesman for typing the first draft and Keith Lockstone for adding Sir Harry's comments and amendments. Security Group Seminar Speaker: Sir Harry Hinsley Date: Tuesday 19th October 1993 Place: Babbage Lecture Theatre, Computer Laboratory Title: The Influence of ULTRA in the Second World War Ross Anderson: It is a great pleasure to introduce today's speaker, Sir Harry Hinsley, who actually worked at Bletchley from 1939 to 1946 and then came back to Cambridge and became Professor of the History of International Relations and Master of St John's College. He is also the official historian of British Intelligence in World War II, and he is going to talk to us today about Ultra. Sir Harry: As you have heard I've been asked to talk about Ultra and I shall say something about both sides of it, namely about the cryptanalysis and then on the other hand about the use of the product - of course Ultra was the name given to the product. And I ought to begin by warning you, therefore, that I am not myself a mathematical or technical expert.

Turing Joins the Government Code and Cypher School Turing’s personal battle with the Enigma machine began some months before the outbreak of the Second World War.1 At this time there was no more than a handful of people in Britain tackling the problem of Enigma. Turing worked largely in isolation, paying occasional visits to the London oYce of the Government Code and Cypher School (GC & CS) for discussions with Dillwyn Knox.2 In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, Knox had broken the type of Enigma machine used by the Italian Navy.3 However, the more complicated form of Enigma used by the German military, containing the Steckerbrett or plug-board, was not so easily defeated. On 4 September 1939, the day following Chamberlain’s announcement of war with Germany, Turing took up residence at the new headquarters of the Govern- ment Code and Cypher School, Bletchley Park.4 GC & CS was a tiny organization 1 Letters from Peter Twinn to Copeland (28 Jan. 2001, 21 Feb. 2001). Twinn himself joined the attack on Enigma in February 1939. Turing was placed on Denniston’s ‘emergency list’ (see below) in March 1939, according to ‘StaV and Establishment of G.C.C.S.’ (undated), held in the Public Record OYce: National Archives (PRO), Kew, Richmond, Surrey (document reference HW 3/82).

To his friends, and also to his enemies, he was always known as ‘Jack’, and he invariably published over the uncharacteristically tight-lipped by-line of J. H. Plumb. On both sides of the Atlantic, the many obituaries and appreciations rightly drew atten- tion to his memorable character and ample wealth, to his irrepressible vitality and unabashed delight in the good things of life, to the light and the dark of his complex and conflicted nature, and to the ups and downs of his professional career. They also stressed his equivocal relationship with Cambridge University (where he failed to gain an undergraduate scholarship, but was Professor of Modern British History from 1966 to 1974), his nearly seventy-year-long connection with Christ’s College (where he was a Fellow from 1946 to 1978, Master from 1978 to 1982, and then again a Fellow until his death), and his latter-day conversion (if such it was) from impassioned radical to militant Thatcherite. And they noted the human insight and sparkling style that were the hallmarks of his best work, his lifelong conviction that history must reach a broad audience and inform our understanding of present-day affairs, and his unrivalled skills in nurturing (and often terrifying) youthful promise and scholarly talent.1 1 Throughout these notes, I have abbreviated Sir John Plumb to JHP, and C.

  • Breaking Germany's Enigma Code
    Breaking Germany’s Enigma Code By Andrew Lycett (Obtained from the Internet) Germany’s armed forces believed their Enigma-encrypted communications were impenetrable to the Allies. But thousands of codebreakers - based in wooden huts at Britain’s Bletchley Park - had other ideas. This author investigates how successful they were, and the difference they made to the war effort. The Enigma “typewriter” In 2001, the release of the feature film Enigma sparked great interest in the tweedy world of the boffins who broke Nazi Germany’s secret wartime communications codes. But not all who watched Dougray Scott in the film’s lead role realised that the title referred to a machine like a typewriter, which encrypted secret messages. Fewer people still knew that this piece of spook hardware was invented by a German (based on an idea by a Dutchman), that information about it was leaked to the French, and that it was first reconstructed by a Pole, before it was offered to Britain’s codebreakers as a way of deciphering German signals traffic during World War II. As a result of the information gained through this device, it has been claimed, hostilities between Germany and the Allied forces were curtailed by two years. The importance of signals intelligence became evident during World War I, as staff in the British Admiralty’s Room 40, under Captain Reginald “Blinker” Hall, worked at intercepting German communications. Among these, famously, was the Zimmermann telegram - a message from the German foreign minister to his ambassador in Mexico City informing him of plans to invade the United States.
