The Secret Listeners: How the Y Service Intercepted the German Codes for Bletchley Park: The Men and Women Posted Across the World to Intercept the German Codes for Bletchley Park
Description
Behind the celebrated code-breaking at Bletchley Park lies another secret. Before the German war machine s messages could be decoded turning the course of the war in a campaign like the Desert War thousands more young men and women had to locate and monitor endless streams of radio traffic around the clock, and transcribe its Morse code with a speed few have ever managed since.
They were part of the Y - (for Wireless ) Service: the Listening Service an organisation just as secret as Bletchley Park during the war, but nowadays still little-known and unrecognised. Without it, however, the Allies would have known nothing of the enemy s military intentions. Now, in the follow-up to his Sunday Times-bestselling The Secret Life of Bletchley Park, through dozens of interviews with surviving veterans, Sinclair McKay chronicles the history and achievements of this remarkable group of people.
