	Bletchley Park Part 1 - The Estate to September 1939
		THE BLETCHLEY PARK estate is situated in the small town of Bletchley which now forms part of the sprawling 'new town' of Milton Keynes.
		The present Bletchley Park lot of fifty-five acres was bought by a developers’ syndicate led by Captain Hubert Faulkner, a local builder, who intended to demolish the mansion and build a new house close by on what still remains as the croquet lawn.
		A story in the Bletchley District Gazette at the time said that the government claim had been refuted by 'its sources in Whitehall' and that whatever was 'going-on' at the Park was obviously ‘hush-hush’.

	The Enigma of Bletchley Park
		The critic George Steiner judged that "Bletchley Park is the single greatest achievement of Britain during 1939-45, perhaps during this century as a whole." It was an intellectual and technical triumph, as well as a military one.
		Bletchley Park's Victorian mansion was located in a railway town between Oxford and Cambridge, where mathematicians, linguists, classicists, historians, and daughters of earls--graduates of these universities and other elements of "the old boy network"--grew in numbers to about 1500 by early 1942.
		At Bletchley Park, for example, Mavis Lever cleverly intuited that a German message without any "l" in it could be a dummy message made up entirely of that letter, from which insight she could reconstruct a key to real messages.

		The intelligence officers in Bletchley Park were overwhelmed with trying to make sense of the mass of new codenames, titles of German units, etc. with which they were suddenly presented.
		Special Liaison Units were set up to feed the Bletchley Park intelligence to commanders in the field, first briefly in France in May 1940 and then in North Africa and elsewhere from March 1941onwards.
		Yet Bletchley Park's greatest success was still to come, with the construction by Tommy Flowers of Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic computer to help to break the Germans' teleprinter cyphers.

		Such was the culture of secrecy at Bletchley Park that no word of what happened began to emerge until the mid 1970's.
		Had the sequence of obscuring characters been truly random it would have been impossible to break the code, luckily for the code breakers, the sequence was generated by rotating mechanical wheels and was a repeating pseudo random sequence — if this sequence could be unravelled the code could be broken.
