'''Bletchley Park''', also known as '''Station X''', is an estate located in the town of Bletchley, in Buckinghamshire now part of [[Milton Keynes]], England. During [[World War II]], Bletchley Park was the location of the United Kingdom's main codebreaking establishment. Codes and ciphers of several Axis countries were deciphered there, most famously the German [[Enigma (machine)|Enigma]]. The high-level intelligence produced by Bletchley Park, codenamed [[Ultra]], is frequently credited with aiding the Allied war effort and shortening the war, although Ultra's effect on the actual outcome of WWII is debated.
