Documentary that reveals the secret story behind one of the greatest intellectual feats of World War II<\/a>, a feat that gave birth to the digital age. In 1943, a 24-year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack into Hitler’s personal super-code machine – not Enigma<\/a> but an even tougher system, which he called his ‘secrets writer’.<\/p>\n

Their break turned the Battle of Kursk<\/a>, powered the D-day landings<\/a> and orchestrated the end of the conflict in Europe. But it was also to be used during the Cold War<\/a> – which meant both men’s achievements were hushed up and never officially recognised.<\/p>\n
