Event Details

This with will be a fascinating talk by Tony Coley.

Tony will be telling us all about intercepting and deciphering Hitler’s communications and the different encryption system that resulted in the building of the world’s first computer – Colossus.  It’s existence was first hinted at from around 1975/76 but not really confirmed until 2002.  Bletchley Park gave the whole encrypted method the codename ‘FISH’.
