American Code Girls

Thousands of talented women were secretly recruited and trained during World War II to become code breaks for the US Army and the US Navy. Working tirelessly at two codebreaking centers in the Washington DC area, they created codes that provided critical intelligence information against the Germans and Japanese. Hear how it wasn't just the Bletchley ladies that were doing all the "breaking".
