The untold story of Bletchley Park's key role in the success of the Normandy campaign
Since the secret of Bletchley Park was revealed in the 1970s, the work of its codebreakers has become one of the most famous stories of the Second World War. But cracking the Nazis' codes was only the start of the process. Thousands of secret intelligence workers were then involved in making crucial information available to the Allied leaders and commanders who desperately needed it.
Using previously classified documents, David Kenyon casts the work of Bletchley Park in a new light, as not just a codebreaking establishment but as a fully developed intelligence agency. He shows how preparations for the war's turning point - the Normandy landings in 1944 - had started at Bletchley years earlier, in 1942, with the careful collation of information extracted from enemy signals traffic. This account reveals the true character of Bletchley's vital contribution to success in Normandy and, ultimately, Allied victory.

A very deep dive into an interesting topic.

The author gives brief biographical details about many of the personalities involved and gives a good view into the arrogance and pettiness routinely displayed by Montgomery.
Unfortunately, the reader insists on reading every quote with a silly, stilted accent, which is annoying and distracting. His imitations of Eisenhower and Patton are particularly insipid, indicating he’s never heard recordings of their actual voices. His Hitler impersonation is pretty poor as well. Guess what — Germans don’t communicate in German-accented English. They speak German, so it doesn’t add authenticity to speak like you’re in a Hogan’s Heroes rerun. For some reason he never attempted a Japanese accent. I suppose this reticence indicates he at least knows some of his own limitations. Thank goodness he never had to try to sound like Churchill.
Many thanks to Audible for making this volume available free of charge.

If you are interested in the history of Bletchley Park, I wouldn't recommend this book either - it is focused quite narrowly on, well, the role of Bletchley Park in the invasion.
But it is the narrator that deserves a separate paragraph. I have almost 200 audiobooks on my virtual shelf, and Greg Patmore's is easily one of the worst performances I heard. A dramatised imitation of voices of British officers apparently was intended to liven up the story. It is just ridiculous, though. One would also expect to have a narrator with basic grasp of German pronunciation when dealing with the book on D-Day - and Mr Patmore definitely has none.
You are warned. Listen at your own risk.
Dry read by a terrible narrator

Skim the first half of the book. Way too many insignificant details are included; some of them redundant.
All the meat is in the second half of the book.
Starts extremely slow

Greg Patmore’s narration is intelligent and feeling, and gives great varieties of authentic accents to all the nationalities involved, including widely diverging British and German accents. Rather a tour de force. Bravo!
Definitive account of the Intelligence process
