Subject: Last Bletchley Park codebreaker Jerry Roberts dies, aged 93
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/26/14 at 2:56 pm
Raymond "Jerry" Roberts - the last of a top World War Two codebreaking team at Bletchley Park - has died, aged 93, following a short illness.
Captain Roberts, from Liphook in Hampshire, was part of a group that cracked the German High Command's Tunny code at the British listening post.
Their decrypts made it possible to read Hitler's own messages during the war.
The team's work is credited with helping to shorten the war by at least two years.

RIP, thanks to him and his colleagues for the work, and to Her Majesty for letting them tell their stories before it was too late.
