STEP 1  ANTICIPATION

he was a codebreaker during the second world war who was pivotal to the deciphering of german secret messages  and thus to the outcome= the result of the conflict 

he designed a machine , the bombe machine to decode the messages produced on the encoding machine, the enigma machine.

Bletchley Park Day Out Review

Questions

SO WHAT IS BLETCHEY PARK ?WHAT KIND OF WORK WAS DONE THERE ? 

they were British code breakers who manage to spy on the germans and decypher their secret communication .

thus they change the course of the war  

WHY DID THEY COME TO THIS PLACE ?  

Because it was located outside of london which was bombed at the time . it was also convenient as there was a whole system communication system a.Moreover it was a former mansion and thus big enough to accomodate all the services necessary . 

THIS PLACE WAS WELL KNOWN DURING THE WAR. RIGHT OR WRONG 

no as it was kept a secret until the 1960's and the death of alan turing . 

WHAT ARE THE 6 STEPS  YOU HAVE TO RESPECT WHILE DEALING WITH SECRET MESSAGES ? PUT BACK IN ORDER

STEP 1	a.    FIND OUT THE METHOD USED TO ENCRYPT THE MESSAGE 2
STEP 2	b.    TRANSLATE THE MESSAGE in English4
STEP 3	c.    INTERCEPT YOUR ENEMIES RADIO SIGNAL1
STEP 4	d.    CROSS REFERENCE  to understand some of the information included in the 5message
STEP 5	e.    SEND YOUR MESSAGE  to the 6appropriate authority
STEP 6	f.     DECODE OR DECYPHER THE MESSAGE3

 HOMEWORK 

read the text and answer the question  

STEP 4 THE IMPACT OF BLETCHEY PARK

What was the impact of bletchey park on the outset of the war ?

Bletchley Park had been compiling vital intelligence for Allied commanders for over 18 months in the run up to D-Day, but the Codebreakers also supported the operation as it unfolded.

Notably, around the date of the invasion (May-July 1944), Bletchley Park took the risk of intercepting enemy messages directly on site in order to speed up the codebreaking process. Secret listeners in Hut 18 (formally Hut 8) were monitoring German Enigma traffic round the clock to monitor the response to the invasion, as well as any threats to the invasion fleet at sea, and the movement of troops in northern France – so that nothing was left to chance. By D-Day, the 7,000 strong workforce at Bletchley Park were decrypting almost 5,000 Enigma messages a day.

The transcripts of the intercepted and decoded messages from 7 and 8 June 1944 should give a powerful sense of what it was like to be at Bletchley Park during this time, following the progress of the Normandy landings through the reactions of the Germans to the long-anticipated invasion. The 7,000 strong workforce at Bletchley Park were decrypting almost 5,000 Enigma messages a day, so these 182 messages represent just a fraction of their output on 6 June.

Starting from 23.58 GMT on 5 June, when German naval units were put on alert, to the following night by which time 156,000 Allied troops had landed by sea and air, the messages reveal how the Germans slowly realised that the Allied invasion in the West had begun. The Western Allies had landed in Normandy and not Calais as the Germans had been led to believe.
