"The 11-minute video is thought to be a compilation of footage shot at the Whaddon Hall facility used by communication staff from the UK's Special Intelligence Service (SIS) -- also known as MI6 -- from 1939 to 1945, according to a press release from the Bletchley Park Trust published Friday."

Archival discoveries like this are always fascinating, especially when it provides us with glimpses of such rare subjects.

You can view the footage on the Bletchley Park YouTube channel here:
