There have been 200 crypto analysts from universities. The most famous among them were Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman, two mathematicians. The whole area was divided into different sections (huts = Barracks) with different responsibilities for naval and army Enigma messages. All messages were got by radio transmission received from different areas in Great Britain and sent to Bletchley Park. Incoming messages have been sorted by clerks and provided for decoding. The code name for the whole organization was ULTRA.
