Capt. Jerry Roberts: I broke Hitler's top-secret Lorenz code, at Bletchley 1941-45

This short documentary made by Lord Charles Brocket for Cannes Film Festival 2010. It told British code-breakers in the Testery at Bletchley Park cracked Hitler's H.Q most top-secret Tunny (Lorenz cipher). Tunny messages provided vital information that changed the course of the War in Europe and saved tens of millions of lives at critical junctures - such as the Battle of Kursk and D-Day.

Gen. Eisenhower (later U.S President) said after the War "Bletchley decrypts shortened the War by at least 2 years". Much of this down to Bill Tutte's success broke Tunny-system and the Testery team breaking messages.

Tunny only declassified in 2002, compared with Enigma's 1970's. Please spread the word about 3T's (Tunny, Bill Tutte and the Testery) if we can!

Captain Roberts, a founder member, leading codebreaker and linguist in the Testery at Bletchley; he was the last survivor of 9 cryptanalysts, who worked on Tunny daily, he died on 25th March 2014.

For his final 6 years, Jerry has been campaigning for proper recognition for his fellow codebreakers in the Testery who broke all those Lorenz messages, and for its 3 "Heroes" - Alan Turing, Bill Tutte and Tommy Flowers (who designed and built the 1st ever computer to help the Testery part of hand-breaking Tunny).
