Behind the 'Green Door' at Bletchley Park (a short video)
2020-04-17
[BBC] The work that Bletchley Park and MI6 did during World War Two, was instrumental in the allies’ victory.

But until now, there hasn't been any video showing what life was like on the sites dedicated to this work.

This all changed when a piece of film was anonymously donated to Bletchley Park Trust, providing an unprecedented insight into the lives of those there.

#6  I worked "Behind the Green Door" in Omaha and elsewhere. It isn't as exciting as the movies make it, but da$$, do I miss it!

#4  Yes, Whitehall. Another virtual time machine, with maps, phones, cots, just as they were. It was said that Churchill had planned to die there, had the Nazis taken London.

#2  Churchill's quarters and the other underground war rooms at the Imperial War Museum in Whitehall are also fascinating.

#1  Those were an absolutely fascinating group of young people. Many of the rooms remain as they were at war's end, a virtual time machine. When all of this unpleasantness finally ends, I highly recommend a visit.
