About the talk:
This talk explores the game of battleships that won the Second War. An unlikely group of women gather to form a secret strategy unit. From a bomb- bruised HQ in Liverpool, the Western Approaches Tactical Unit spend days and nights designing and playing wargames in an effort to crack the U-boat tactics.
Based on the book A game of Bids and Wolves, this talk brings a story from World War 2 that many may never have heard
