01: The Keys to the Reich | Station X

Duration: 50'53''

Synopsis

The first episode revealed that Station X was the cover name for the World War II radio interception station co-located with the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park.[6] In 1938 the British Secret Service bought Bletchley Park, installing wireless receiver (call-sign: "Station X") to pick up German messages. A small group of aristocratic codebreakers visited the Country house with their staff and butlers under the guise of "Captain Ridley's shooting party" to establish its suitability.
