Secrets Behind the Gates: The Women Who Broke Hitler's Codes
In 1947, as London buzzes with preparations for Princess Elizabeth's royal wedding, three women are locked in a desperate race against time. Once inseparable friends at Bletchley Park-Britain's top-secret codebreaking facility-they've been torn apart by betrayal, secrets, and the unimaginable pressures of war. Now, one faces imminent lobotomy in an asylum while the others must overcome their bitter history to save her. Their story reveals the hidden world where brilliant minds fought Hitler not with guns, but with mathematics, linguistics, and raw intellectual power-a world where women found unprecedented opportunity to prove their worth beyond society's narrow expectations.
