The movie went on general release in the UK on November 14, 2014. Coventry was blitzed by the Luftwaffe on the same day in 1940. It is long rumoured that plans for the attack had been discovered by the Bletchley Park code-breakers but no action was taken to stop it because the British Government was worried that such action would disclose the fact that the Enigma code had already been broken. The idea that the British knew about the pending attack on Coventry is incorrect. They knew there was an attack pending but not where it would be made. The allegation that Churchill purposely withheld information so the Germans would not know their code had been broken is false.
