The Brits do these period dramas perfectly...

Have you seen any of "Foley's War?"

Oh, are there more? I used to get them on DVD from the library, but then it turned up streaming on Netflix.

Netflix has through Set Six. I can’t remember if I’ve seen those or not. And that reminds me that I haven’t checked for new Midsomer Murders lately.

Thanks for the ping.

There are Enigma machines at the National Cryptologic Museum. It is located next to NSA Headquarters, Ft. George Meade, Maryland, and is open to the public.

ITV, not BBC.

BBC America shows mostly BBC programmes from the UK, but some of its shows are actually from ITV (the BBC’s huge commercial rival in the UK), Channel 4 and Channel 5.

The Poles in recent years have certainly received their rightful praise, albeit too long in the making.

And Enigma has overshadowed other as important British codebreaking of WW2: other German codes, Italian codes and Japanese codes.
