Description
The Breaking of Lorenz: A Code That Could Never Be Broken In 1941, Britain stood at the brink of defeat, but a team of codebreakers at Bletchley Park worked tirelessly to prevent this fate. Their efforts were focused on breaking two German cipher machines: Enigma and Lorenz. While Enigma was a significant challenge, Lorenz proved even more complex and secure. For sixty years, the story of Lorenz's code remained hidden, with many of its creators dying without recognition for their work. In 2018, Captain Jerry Roberts shared his account of this extraordinary feat, shedding light on the determination and intellect that ultimately cracked the code. This book tells the complete story of the Bletchley Park team's struggle to break Lorenz and its impact on the course of World War II. The work at Bletchley Park during the war laid the groundwork for modern computing, as they developed groundbreaking methods to automate the process of breaking Lorenz.
