The Bletchley Girls
Dan Snow's History Hit - A podcast by History Hit
Categories:
During the Second World War, Bletchley Park was the home of a top-secret code-breaking centre. Only in the 1970s did people begin to discuss what had occurred there. In the intervening years, however, three-quarters of the workforce would rarely have been asked to describe their experiences during the war: because they were women. Dr Tessa Dunlop has spoken with fifteen of these veterans, and in this episode from our sibling podcast The World Wars, she tells James about the women of Bletchley Park: their backgrounds, work, and memory of their important duty.
