Description
Bletchley Park and D-Day by David Kenyon explores the lesser-known story of the codebreakers' role in the Allied victory. Using previously classified documents, Kenyon sheds new light on Bletchley Park's work as a fully developed intelligence agency. The book reveals how preparations for the Normandy Landings began at Bletchley in 1942, with the careful collation of information extracted from enemy signals traffic. This account highlights the vital contribution made by Bletchley to the success of the campaign and ultimately, Allied victory. By examining previously classified documents, Kenyon provides a fresh perspective on this pivotal moment in history, demonstrating the crucial role played by Bletchley Park's intelligence workers in shaping the outcome of the war.
