Hut 8

Hut 8

Hut 8 was a section at Bletchley Park (the British World War II codebreaking station) tasked with solving German naval Enigma messages. The section was led initially by Alan Turing. He was succeeded by his deputy Conel Hugh O'Donel Alexander in November 1942.

Hut 8 was partnered with Hut 4, which handled the translation and intelligence analysis of the raw decrypts provided by Hut 8.

After 2005 Hut 8 was renovated in wartime condition and houses the "HMS Petard Exhibition". [cite journal
