Download Lorenz: Breaking Hitler's Top Secret Code at Bletchley Park AudioBook Free
The breaking of the Enigma machine is one of the very most heroic reviews of the Second World War and highlights the key work of the codebreakers of Bletchley Playground, which averted Britain's certain defeat in 1941. But there is another German cipher machine, used by Hitler himself to mention text messages to his top generals in the field. A machine more complex and secure than Enigma. A machine that may never be destroyed. For 60 years no-one knew about Lorenz or 'Tunny', or the identified band of men who finally broke the code and so changed the span of the war. Many of them went to their fatalities without anyone knowing of their accomplishments. Here, for the first time, mature codebreaker Captain Jerry Roberts explains to the complete story of this extraordinary feat of intellect and of his struggle to get his wartime colleagues the acceptance they deserve. The task completed at Bletchley Playground during the conflict to partially automate the process of breaking Lorenz, which experienced recently been done entirely by hand, was groundbreaking and is recognized as having kick-started the modern computer age.
