Lost silver ingots in Bletchley Park England

[boldforgold]

I was watching a very interesting documentary about the Enigma code machine used by the Germans in WW2. The top codebreaker was an eccentric fellow named Alan Turing and a friend of his claimed that he converted all of his pay into silver ingots and buried them on the grounds of Bletchley Park, which was the headquarters for the coders. His friend claimed that he forgot where he buried them, and I was wondering if anyone had heard of any efforts to recover these ingots, if the story is true. Thanks for any info.

Some claim that this never happened. Nor did he just decipher the Enigma machine. There was a group of Polish mathematicians, who before Touring, were involved. As well as a stroke of luck, since on June 4, 1941, in the heat of World War II a German submarine U-110 is captured by the British Royal Navy. On board they find intact an Enigma crypto machine, which the Allies later use to decipher coded German messages.

At our local military museum, we have one of those Enigma machines.
