This is really amazing, thank you for the video and thank you for the Bletchley Girl who talked us through how it went from a personal view. very well explained.
On december 18th 2021 only less-than-1,5k people have watched this video, of those - I dare to say - each 1/20 have looked for other relevant sources, and eventually have red some books, and final number that now, in 2021 - only (at best) - is some less than 30 people, including some "pros" (young mathematicians, who started to work for some Intelligence Service ) - can comprehenceivelly understand how that was going on ...
She doesn't claim to have made the machine. Nor did she know how it actually worked. She's explaining what her duties were when the machine found a potential code match. As for those who made the machine never talking, it's well documented that the basis of the codebreaking machines was a complex mathematical system. Most people who worked for the UK government departments during the war had little knowledge of why they did their little part. That's how secrets are kept secret. Maybe you could watch and listen to this again in the hope that her narrative actually sinks in. 👉🙄👈
