A series counts once, regardless of how many of its episodes feature them.
A thread follows one event or historical theme across the archive, wherever and whenever it appears. Pick a tab to read one; they are in the order they are filed on the timeline. Pulling a thread opens up a narrowed timeline view filtered to every year that thread touches.

Institution
The covert effort by the United Kingdom's Government Code and Cypher School, operating out of the Bletchley Park country estate, to break Axis communication encryption during the Second World War. Perhaps most famously, the codebreakers at Bletchley Park were able to crack the encryption created by Germany's Enigma machine, allowing the Allies to quickly decipher intercepted German messages and gain vital military intelligence.
