Hear the story of Bletchley Park's Brigadier John Tiltman as you've never heard it before - told by his grandson.

Brigadier John Tiltman led an incredible life: Distinguished service during the Great War, working on the edge of the British Empire cracking enemy radio traffic, responsible for the first breakthrough against the Nazi’s Lorenz codebreaking machine at Bletchley Park that led to Colossus. Tiltman’s grandson Anthony Denzer joins us in the anniversary year of Tiltman’s birth to deliver a unique perspective on a talented codebreaker involved in some of history’s greatest events. Anthony will expand on the more commonly known elements of the life of The Brig – and reflect on his personally from the point of view of his family members and friends.Anthony was raised in Hawaii, attended the University of Hawaii receiving a BA in International Business. He became a naval aviator flying surveillance aircraft throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans, East Africa and the Middle East and is now an airline captain/evaluator on the Airbus A-330. He lives with his wife Susan and son Jacob in Kailua, Hawaii, where they enjoy water-sports, mountain biking and traveling.
