Great to see Trinity Maths students Eleanor & Arunav speaking to @itvanglia Matt Hudson about alumnus Bill Tutte who was pivotal in cracking the Lorenz cipher - used for top-secret German messages.

Trinity alumnus & @bletchleypark codebreaker William Tutte is honoured in new Royal Mail stamps for the 80th anniversary of VE Day. He played a vital role in cracking the Lorenz cipher - even more complex than Enigma. 📷 @RoyalMail

I'm really excited to hear that Royal Mail are releasing a set of stamps called "Valour and Victory" to celebrate VE Day 80. And who is one of the celebrated heroes? Only the incredible William "Bill" Tutte, you can even see the Lorenz SZ42 behind him! 😍https://t.co/yKbXCtdBm4

On this day 1940: Italy entered the war on the side of Nazi Germany. It was not long before Italian POWs started to arrive at #MI9 secret bugging sites #TrentPark #TheWallsHaveEars

Oh now that's just brilliant! I want one @BillTutte https://t.co/NWPlUePFDd

@BillTutte Bill lived down the road from us in West Montrose. I was cleaning out a closet and found this obituary…

[Dr Helen Fry | WWII Historian @DrHelenFry]

Hermi Rothman passed away last week. Came to UK on #Kindertransport & went on to fight for Britain in counter-intelligence. Amongst the group who discovered Hitler's will & translated it for British intelligence @Int_Corps @mi_intel RIP my dear friend

On 1st September 1939 the iconic Tower of London became the clandestine site for the nascent top-secret bugging unit... incredible history. Read about it #TheWallsHaveEars

New £50 note rightly celebrates the unique Alan Turing 'Enigma Code'. But let's not forget unsung hero Bill Tutte who broke the 'Lorenz Code'. Hitler called Lorenz his "secrets writer" and considered it unbreakable. Used for most sensitive info & German plans.

[Elizabeth J. Bond @ElizabethJBond]

@FXMC1957 In terms of codebreaking, he ranks below Bill Tutte who cracked the Tunny/Lorenz code - which was far harder than Naval Enigma.
In terms of the evolution of the modern computer, he was no more (or less) significant than Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace & many others.

An appeal: does anyone recognise this Jewish refugee Lily who was taken in by the Kendrick family in Oxshott, Surrey during WWII? It would be wonderful to find out more about Lily... and is she still alive???
