The Research Department in 'The Cottage' at Bletchley Park under Dilly Knox (until his death) and with Mavis and Keith Batey: lots of undertold stories about the BP achievements apart from the now well-known but often mistold 'mainstream Wehrmacht/Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine Enigma' achievements. A wholly true account would need only a small indoor set (could maybe get use of the original, in the grounds of the better known 'big house'), interspersed with newsreels of the time (which would, of course, not have mentioned the ULTRA stories behind them). There would be no need to exaggerate the truth, nor create wholly fictional extrapolation from it, as Enigma or The Imitation Game did, to make an amazing narrative. There is now more recently explicitly Released material in the recent Ferris book ('Behind the Enigma'; the Authorised History

She (and Joan Clarke) deserve to be ranked with Turing, Knox and Birch among the BP 'greats'. There is no need to get Ms Knightley to play her, as she did Clarke
Matapan, Alamein, Torch, Fortitude, the Abwehr and 'export' (K) Enigmas, the Italian Hagelins, other 'minor machines', diagnosis and exploitation of some of the toughest manual systems (which were always important), requirements of and service to DNI (including Paymaster Lt-Cdr Ian Fleming RNVR), ..
Unfortunately, few might believe it, and there were no US personalities involved ..
