ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Jean Valentine (bombe operator)

Jean Valentine was a very important person during World War II. She was a Bombe Operator, which means that she operated a special machine called a Bombe. This machine helped the Allies to crack secret messages that the enemy was sending.

When the enemy would send messages, they would use a secret code to keep them safe. The Bombe machine helped the Allies to figure out what the secret code was. This was really important because it helped the Allies to know what the enemy was doing and plan their own attacks.

Jean Valentine was part of a team of people who worked together to operate the Bombe machine. They would work long hours, seven days a week and often work in shifts to keep the machine running all the time.

Jean Valentine was really brave. She worked hard to help the Allies win the war and keep our world safe. We should be thankful for people like her who sacrificed so much to help us all.
