Watch now : Jerry Roberts' codebreaking talk
--------------------------------------------

17 March 2009

Captain Jerry Roberts, UCL German alumnus and Second-World-War 
codebreaker, spoke at UCL on 11 March 2009 about his experiences breaking 
the "Tunny" code at Bletchley Park : a much more complex machine than 
the better-known "Enigma".

Captain Roberts delivered his talk - "My Top-Secret Codebreaking During 
World War II : The Last British Survivor of Bletchley Park's Testery" - 
to a full house, and there were a further 500 people on the waiting list. 
Guests comprised UCL alumni, staff, students and members of the public, 
including members of the "Save Bletchley Park" campaign.
