The Crucial Link - Bletchley Park & the D-Day Deception


Listen Later

June 2014

The importance of Bletchley Park’s role in the D-Day

deception should not be underestimated.

Messages decrypted at Bletchley Park showed that the

feint had been swallowed whole, leading Germany to
believe that the invasion would be at the Pas de Calais
rather than Normandy.

Katherine Lynch talked to Bletchley Park’s Senior Archivist,

Richard Lewis, and historian and founding member of the
Bletchley Park Trust, Peter Westcombe.
