Brigadier John Hessell Tiltman ( 25 May 1894– 10 August 1982) was a British Army officer who worked in intelligence, often at or with the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) starting in the 1920s. His intelligence work was largely connected with cryptography, and he showed considerable skill at cryptanalysis. His work in association with Bill Tutte on the German teleprinter ciphers, called at Bletchley Park the FISH ciphers, led to sometimes successful attack methods. It was to exploit those methods that Colossus, the first digital programmable electronic computer, was designed and built. ...more on Wikipedia about "John Tiltman"
