By mid-1940, Hitler had conquered all of Northern Europe and now Britain was under seige by air and U-boat; something had to be done or defeat was inevitable. Winston Churchill established an eccentric group of codebreakers at Betchley Park comprised of British and American mathematicians, chess and crossword fanatics and even students to unlock the secrets of the Nazi's encryption device, the Enigma.

Decoding Nazi Secrets Audience Reviews

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Edison Witt The first must-see film of the year.
Chris Jones (crljones) Following the well-researched and popular book "Station X - Decoding Nazi Secrets" by Micheal Smith 1999, this film explains the historical circumstances and code-breaking methods that took place at Bletchley Park (BP) during WWII. Mixing historical clips, dramatic recreations and first-person interviews makes the production lively and exciting as the viewer is taken through the up and downs that challenged the group over the course of the war.For the 5,000 men and women who worked there during WWII, the "Ultra" Most Secret designation served this organization too well - even after it was declassified in the 1970's. Few have known or understood that its heroic and remarkable accomplishments were the most important in the whole war for the Allied powers and a primary reason for victory over Hitler and his Axis.
