Hut 6
Encyclopedia : H : HU : HUT : Hut 6
Hut 6 was a wartime section of Bletchley Park tasked with the solution of German Army and Air Force Enigma machine ciphers. Hut 8, by contrast, attacked Naval Enigma. Hut 6 was established at the initiative of Gordon Welchman.
Welchman's deputy, Stuart Milner-Barry, succeeded Welchman as head of Hut 6 in September 1943, at which point over 450 people were working in the section.
Hut 6's partner hut was Hut 3, which handled the translation and intelligence analysis of the messages solved by Hut 6.
