Site: Bletchley Park

World War II code-breaking center 

    Bletchley Park is amazing, but there is a lot to take in. We learned about recruitment, setting up the code-breaking site, and life at Bletchley. We also learned about the Enigma machine, the Bombe machines, and the Colossus. It is estimated that the work done at Bletchley shortened the war by two to four years.
