Description
The Codebreaking Sisters: Our Secret War In 1939, the outbreak of war brought two sisters, Patricia and Jean Owtram, into the heart of Britain's secret war effort. Raised in a Lancashire country house, they took in Austrian Jewish refugees and quickly became fluent in German, a skill that would shape their roles forever. As the war raged on, the sisters found themselves working in top-secret roles, using their unique skills to contribute to the war effort. Patricia, with her quick thinking, was tasked with intercepting German shipping radio at Bletchley Park, while Jean, with her talent for crossword solving, worked as a Code & Cipher Officer in the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. Despite the dangers and challenges they faced, the sisters persevered, demonstrating remarkable intelligence, resilience, and determination. Their story is one of persistence, comradeship, and fighting spirit, and it is a testament to the bravery and ingenuity of everyday people who played a crucial role in bringing the Nazis down.
