Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park (BP) is a site located in the town of Bletchley, in Milton Keynes, England. During World War II, Bletchley Park was the location of the United Kingdom's efforts to break ciphers, including those of the Enigma and Lorenz machine used by Nazi Germany. The intelligence produced by Bletchley Park, codenamed ULTRA, has been credited with hastening the end of World War II.
