Did Americans work at Bletchly Park decoding intercepted German messages or where the decoders only British? Inquiring minds want to know ........A couple of dumb butts too.

From Wiki...
"When the United States joined the war Churchill agreed with Roosevelt to pool resources and a number of American cryptographers were posted to Bletchley Park. Whilst the British continued to work on German cyphers, the Americans concentrated on the Japanese ones."

Get a copy of Kahn's The Codebreakers - a 1164 page tome published in 1967 that covers Bletchley Park in detail - you'd be surprised who all was involved! Or Kahn's Seizing the Enigma published in 1991 that has a lot more updated info - but Codebreakers gives you the background.
