   Who invented code breaker huts?

   • Huts sprang up on the grounds where code-breakers worked, sweltering in summer, freezing in winter, in a haze of cigarette smoke. Others labored in centers close by, including Eastcote. Chief among the code-breakers was mathematician Alan Turing, who invented the Turing Bombe, a device that turned the letters produced by Enigma into legible German.
