I suggested students (Y11/12/13) watched The Imitation Game, and I lent them out DVDs of films Enigma and Bletchley Park: Code-Breaking’s Forgotten Genius (Gordon Welchman). However, I consider both the Hollywood films very distracting from how Bletchley Park actually worked and how the people like Alan Turing were and worked together. I therefore hunted out the 2 breaking the code films on Amazon Prime.
This link suggests Howard Craston’s Top 6 Bletchley Park Books. I already had listened to Station X and have subsequently bought two paper versions to share with the students. I also have Seizing the Enigma, Hut 6 and Colossus.
