Bletchley Park in England played a crucial role in the war against Germany during World War II. It was the location where Alan Turing and others created the BOMS machine, which was early computer technology that was able to break codes sent from German Enigma machines. Codebreaking work in Dayton was integral in breaking German codes and by 1942, the United Kingdom and the United States began an intelligence sharing operation called the 5 EYES. The presentation by Andrew Lloyd explores the history of Bletchley Park, Dayton's role in codebreaking, and how intelligence sharing is still strong between the U.S. and the U.K. (Presented on March 20, 2022)
