People 'in the know' have greater respect for Bill Tutte and Tommy Flowers than Alan Turing - though that does not mean to diminish the work that Alan did. "If it was made by a machine it can be broken by a machine" was Alan's driving motivation. He was a lot more interested in what a machine could do, than the fact that it was helping to win the war.
Correct, I read his biography. Despite not being able to follow the scientific and mathmaticle stuff, it was still a facinating story. AND NOTHING, like that Hollywood film rubbish.
@@MrDaiseymay The BBC Bletchley Park documentaries are on TH-cam and are much better than the movie. Turing is now thought to have had Asperger's Syndrome.
Yeah ,missed this one, and it explains why they left out a lot of important parts of the story, like why, Tommy Flowwer's insisted on using electric ''Valves' ( Tubes ) by the hundreds.
Fascinating stuff, will need to visit Bletchley park soon.
absolutely brilliant!

Is this true?
Read 'The Rose Code' by Kate Quinn. Never knew about this. Very interesting.
