Extra - E28 - Mavis Batey
November 2013
Mavis Batey, one of Bletchley Park’s leading female
Codebreakers, died this week at the age of 92.
Mavis’s work on Enigma was crucial to the Royal Navy’s
victory at Matapan in 1941 and the success of the D-Day
landings in 1944. She was part of Dilly Knox’s team, working on
as-yet unbroken codes and ciphers.
In this Bletchley Park Podcast Extra, we can hear her
chatting with Bletchley Park historian and author Michael
Smith.
Many thanks to Michael Smith, Matt Rawlinson & The Open
University for allowing us to share this with you.
