Presented by Rene Cutforth

In March 1918 Britain and France faced defeat by Germany. The Germans were 60 miles from Paris. If Paris fell, the war would end.
To ensure the secrecy of their planned offensive the Germans invented a new code - ADFGX. The only way the Allies could combat the Germans' superior strength was to break the code and know exactly where the attack would come. The codebreaking battle behind the lines was to be more decisive than the battle at the front.
Taking part in the programme is the German who invented ADFGX and the Frenchman and the American who tried to break it.
