"On This Date in Cryptologic History" Calendar
1941: First Americans visit Bletchley Park.
8 February 1941: First Americans visit Bletchley Park - beginning U.S. - U.K. cryptologic cooperation during World War II.
In late January 2021, the NCMF hosted a virtual cryptologic program featuring Dr. David Sherman, "American Codebreakers at Bletchley Park, 1941-1945." Dr. Sherman discussed a secret February 1941 U.S. visit to Britain’s wartime codebreaking center and how it set the stage for the enduring partnership that emerged after World War II, a partnership often called the closest and most important relationship in the history of intelligence.
