UK&#8217;s team of scientists and mathematicians, at Government Code and Cipher School, Bletchley Park, then were hoping to bring the war to a premature end, even though the intelligence services of Hitler were convinced it could not be broken. The machines, easy to use and portable, could be set up in a myriad of ways, making it almost humanly impossible to crack the code.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\">However, Britain&#8217;s brightest minds were listening in to some of the most secret communications. Then Alan Turing changed all that, when he built a machine that&#8217;s able to crack it. The team of experts could create a computer programme able to decode most of the communications of the Germans.
