That is all you need to know.\" This was      the terse telegram hundreds of young women throughout the British      Isles received in the spring of 1941, as World War II raged.      As they arrived at Station X, a sprawling mansion in a state of disrepair      surrounded by Spartan-looking huts with little chimneys      coughing out thick smoke – these young people had no idea what      kind of work they were stepping into. Who had recommended them?      Why had they been chosen? Most would never learn all the answers      to these questions.      Bletchley Park was a well-kept secret during World War II, operating      under the code name Station X. The critical work of code-cracking      Nazi missives that went on behind its closed doors could      determine a victory or loss against Hitler’s army. Amidst the      brilliant cryptographers, flamboyant debutantes and absent-minded      professors working there, it was teenaged girls who kept Station      X running. Some could do advanced math, while others spoke a      second language. They ran the unwieldy bombe machines, made sense      of wireless sound waves and sorted the decoded messages. They were      expected to excel in their fields and most importantly: know how      to keep a secret.            Candace Fleming is the award-winning and highly acclaimed author      of Crash from Outer Space, The Curse of the Mummy,      and many other nonfiction books for young readers.      A compelling and narrative story that makes history come alive.      Thick with tension and suspense, this is an extraordinary and      relatively unknown story of World War II that will fascinate readers      who will be thrilled to see young people playing such an important      role in the wartime effort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41532865347681,"sku":"9781338749571","price":19.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29795671.jpg?v=1725782622","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781338749571-enigma-girls-how-ten-teenagers-broke-cip","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
