WWII: The Code Breakers
A illustrated talk on Allied codebreaking in WWII with storyteller Julie Koenig highlighting Turing, Friedman and Rejewski
The code breakers played a crucial role in the Allied victory by deciphering enemy communications, enabling the Allies to anticipate Axis movements and disrupt their plans.
Three of the most significant figures were: - Alan Turing (British) — A leading codebreaker at Bletchley Park. - Elizabeth Smith Friedman (American) — A pioneering cryptanalyst, she dismantled Nazi espionage networks in the Western Hemisphere. - Marian Rejewski (Polish) — A mathematician who first broke Enigma in the 1930s using innovative mathematical techniques.
Presented by British-born Julie Koenig, an exceptional storyteller who brings history to life for modern audiences. A graduate of the University of Wolverhampton in England, she is a Fortune 500 sales and marketing professional.
