Summary Part of Codes and Code-breakers Week on WW2TV David Kenyon is a British archaeologist and military historian. Since 2015, he is the Research Historian at Bletchley Park. He is also an Associate Lecturer in History at Brunel University and an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of History at the University of Kent. Since the secret of Bletchley Park was revealed in the 1970s, the work of its codebreakers has become one of the most famous stories of the Second World War. But cracking the Nazis' codes was only the start of the process. Thousands of secret intelligence workers were then involved in making crucial information available to the Allied leaders and commanders who desperately needed it. David Kenyon will talk about Bletchley Park not just a codebreaking establishment, but as a fully developed intelligence agency. He will explain how preparations for the DDay landings in 1944 had started at Bletchley years earlier, in 1942, with the careful collation of information extracted from enemy signals traffic.
