The extraordinary, but previously hidden, story of a British engineer, Tommy Flowers, and a talented British mathematician, Bill Tutte. Tutte's codebreaking skill, and the engineering genius of Flowers, gave rise to Colossus, the world's first programmable computer. Tutte is revealed as having been responsible for what experts have described as the single most important intellectual feat of World War Two - without this work, D-Day would never have happened. Tutte broke a code ten times tougher than Enigma and, with a handful of brilliant men, allowed Churchill to 'hack in' to Hitler's own hotline, win the War and usher in the age of computers. Tutte's breathtaking genius was exploited by an amazing array of talent at Bletchley Park (the UK's top secret intelligence base) who then broke into Hitler's own communications network, changing the War and the world.

After Goering, Rudolf Hess was the most senior Nazi in Allied hands. While imprisoned, Hess’ behaviour became increasingly erratic. He arrived at Nuremberg with serious doubts hanging over his fitness to stand trial, and drove his interrogators to exasperation by claiming not to remember his Nazi past. Hess presented a real dilemma to the Allies: to try an insane man would violate the very principles that the tribunal was created to uphold, but not to try him would allow one of Hitler’s oldest lieutenants to evade justice. Part 3 of 3.
