Alan Turing is the most famous worker from Bletchley Park. He led hut eight which was the section for German Naval Cryptanalysis and he said "No one else was doing anything about it so I could have it to myself". During a trip to America to assist American Naval Cryptanalysis his post was taken by Hugh Alexander. He then became a consultant for Cryptanalysis. It is predicted that his work shortened the war in Europe by 2-4 years. After the war ended Alan Turing worked at the National Physical Laboratory.

Joan Clarke worked in hut eight in Bletchley Park, which focused on Naval Cryptanalysis, where she eventually became deputy head. She was paid less than the men for her work and believed that her gender prevented her from progressing further. During her time at Bletchley Park she became very good friends with Alan Turing.
