Patricia Brown, who has died aged 103, was one of the leading female British codebreakers during the second world war, initially with the Government Code & Cypher School at Bletchley Park and then as the head of its German diplomatic section, based in Berkeley Street in Mayfair. Known then as Pat Bartley, she not only played a key role in the breaking of the main German diplomatic code, Floradora, but her skilful leadership and management of cooperation with her US counterparts ensured a difficult system was broken far more quickly than expected.
She had been persuaded to work at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, by Emily Anderson, the leading British female codebreaker during the interwar period, who was billeted on her parents at their home in Swanbourne, eight miles from the wartime codebreaking base.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the first intelligence sharing pact signed between the two allies. The signals intelligence agreement, originally dubbed as BRUSA, was signed by Winston Churchill in Washington on March 5, 1946. It was the culmination of meetings that started in 1941 between British and American intelligence officers and helped pave the way for an ever closer and profitable transatlantic partnership.

A spy chief’s diary has revealed the secret help the US gave Britain’s codebreakers early in the Second World War.
With the simple entry ‘The Ys [Yanks] are coming’, Commander Alastair Denniston, first head of the Government Code and Cypher School, which would become GCHQ, recorded the first visit of American cryptographers to Bletchley Park.
At the time, February 10, 1941, Denniston was working there with Alan Turing to crack the German Enigma code.
The visit by leading US codebreakers to Bletchley was cloaked in secrecy – the US would not enter the war until December that year. It also sealed what Winston Churchill would call the ‘special relationship’ between the two powers.
