Buckshot Bear Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 The Garage Girls and their secret war machine "In a suburban Brisbane garage, young women decoded radio transmissions that changed the course of World War II. For the first time, their top-secret work on a panicked Japanese cable about a new type of weapon can be revealed". https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-03/garage-girls-world-war-2-spying-in-australia/102411022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Great stuff! Thanks Bear. Everyone seems to forget the ones that worked, helped and toiled in the background to help win that war and every other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would all the young men and women still be at the gym or in front of mirrors managing their image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw quite a few young people that I figure would take up the fight, some I knew and a few that I haven’t seen before. I DID see one or two that I don’t think I would depend on, but all in all, it was a refreshing experience! It is ALWAYS a few that turn the tide!!

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Another assignment overwhelmingly occupied by women was as ‘computers’. They compiled the artillery firing tables for the different pieces in use: caliber, elevation, charge, projectile weight, wind direction, velocity and more.
