 The Enigma codebreakers: This Saturday
(18th August) the film Enigma opens at the
Edinburgh International Film Festival.
Starring Kate
Winslet and Dougray Scott, the film is a fictional account of
what's been called 'the greatest intellectual achievement of
the twentieth century' - the breaking of the Enigma code at
Bletchley Park during the Second World War.
Thousands
of people were employed at Bletchley throughout the war years,
working on various aspects of codebreaking.
Sheila
McKenzie and Oliver Lawn were amongst them. A translator and a
mathematician, recruited straight from university, they've now
been married for over fifty years and Claudia Hammond went to
meet them.
