I don't remember seeing it mentioned here but you're probably thinking of Bletchley Park, which is where a lot of code work was done in WWII (mathematicians, including for example my PhD supervisor, were sent there en masse). I see they do have a set of education resources:

so maybe that's what was mentioned?
