SUMMARY:CODEBREAKERS - The Story of Enigma
DESCRIPTION:Codebreakers – The Story of Enigma\n\nThis show\, by Dr Mark 
 Baldwin\, is one of the Second World War’s most fascinating stories. Tha
 t of the Allied Codebreakers\, who deciphered a vast number of German secr
 et messages and used the intelligence so gained to hasten Allied victory. 
 The Germans had entrusted their secret communications to an ingenious ciph
 ering machine the Enigma\, which was portable\, easily operated\, and coul
 d be set up in millions of ways. The codes were used and every one was cha
 nged every 24 hours.\n\nThis fascinating talk includes the life and work o
 f the great mathematician\, computer scientist\, philosopher and theoretic
 al biologist Alan Turing OBE FRS.\n\nThe Allies gained invaluable informat
 ion about troop and aircraft dispositions\, orders of battle\, U-boat move
 ments\, technical development\, military intentions and tank and artillery
  strengths. It is generally reckoned that the intelligence from Enigma sho
 rtened the war by about two years.\n\nDr Mark Baldwin has made a detailed 
 study of the Enigma machine\, the code-breaking work at Bletchley Park\, a
 nd U-boats and has built up a unique collection of slides which illustrate
  the main features of those important facts of the Second World War. He ha
 s prepared an entertaining instructive show on this subject.\n\nThe show i
 s divided into two parts. It is followed by an opportunity for questions\,
  then a hands-on demonstration of one of the very few surviving Enigma mac
 hines.\n\nThese machines are so rare\, this show has great interest to loc
 al press and radio (and occasionally TV). Dr Baldwin will gladly provide p
 ress and newspaper interviews which if arranged about a week before the ev
 ent will provide excellent free advertising. As a result several managers 
 have been able to report full houses.\n\n“Never before in 20 years have 
 we had such demand for tickets” - Medieval Hall\, Salisbury\n\nTickets: 
 £18\n\nReserved Seating\n\n
