Giant Journeys

World War 2 - Codebreaking Journey

Portrait Still 05

 

It’s 1940 and the world is at war. Germany has invaded Poland, France, Holland and Belgium and we have had word that it is about to launch Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Great Britain.

We’ve intercepted enemy radio signals and sent them to Bletchley Park, home of the country’s codebreakers.

These messages have been coded using German Enigma machines and need to be deciphered and sent to military command as soon as possible.

Our facilitator will introduce cryptography to your young codebreakers beginning with a unique technique of Morse Code through movement.
