Re: BBC programme

So why is it vital to keep Bletchley secret from the Germans in 1979?

1, We don't want the Russians to know that we can crack codes ?

2, We don't want our Allies to know we were spying on them on the same way?

3, Leaders who had "had a good war" want people to think that the victory was down to their genius not the fact that they had read the answers in the back of the book as it were

4, All of the above
