To dive deeper into this story, Anne travels to Bletchley Park, the historic site of British codebreaking and intelligence operations during the war. Here, Anne meets an expert to discuss how radar, alongside codebreaking, became a powerful force in securing Britain’s victory. Broadcast on Viking.TV on May 8, 2025.
