This all seems very familiar, I think I must have read it before, or perhaps saw a documentary. It can travel on, anyway.
blurb:
For Winston Churchill the men and women at Bletchley Park were 'the geese that laid the golden eggs', providing important intelligence that led to the Allied victory in the Second World War.
At the peak of Bletchley's success, a total of eight thousand women worked there, including a former ballerina who helped to crack the Enigma Code; a debutante working for the Admiralty with a direct line to Churchill; the convent girl who operated the Bombes, the top secret machines that tested Enigma settings; and the German literature student whose codebreaking saved countless lives at D-Day.
Through interviews with the women themselves and unique access to the Bletchley Park archives, Smith reveals how they came to be there, the lives they gave up to do their bit for the war effort, and the part they played in the vital work of 'Station X'. They are an incredible set of women, The Debs of Bletchley Park is their story.
