Editing Max Newman (section)

===Government Code and Cypher School===
By spring 1942, Newman was considering involvement in war work. He made enquiries. After Patrick Blackett recommended him to the Director of Naval Intelligence, Newman was sounded out by [[Frank Adcock]] in connection with the [[Government Communications Headquarters|Government Code and Cypher School]] at [[Bletchley Park]].<ref name="n176"/>

Newman was cautious, concerned to ensure that the work would be sufficiently interesting and useful, and there was also the possibility that his father's German nationality would rule out any involvement in top-secret work.<ref>Gannon, 2006, pp. 227–228.</ref> The potential issues were resolved by the summer, and he agreed to arrive at [[Bletchley Park]] on 31 August 1942. Newman was invited by [[F. L. Lucas|F. L. (Peter) Lucas]] to work on [[Enigma machine|Enigma]] but decided to join [[John Tiltman|Tiltman]]'s group working on [[Tunny (cryptography)|Tunny]].<ref name="n176"/>
