    The museum displayed the work here at Bletchley Park with much pride and admiration. They believe that the work done here by these men and women were crucial to the war effort. Because of the nature of the work, these stories were often untold until many years after the war. In such, this museum tries to exemplify the patriotism, struggle, and contribution the workers at Bletchley Park experienced during the Second World War. One point myself and several others in my group were curious about, included

    This memorial commemorates Alan Turing and the other contributors of Bletchley Park. Turing was a British mathematician and cryptologist. It honors their creation of the computer that cracked the German coded messages. His deciphering of the messages saved approximately 14 million lives and shaved 2-4 years off of the war. After the war was over, his service was classified for many years and he never received the recognition he should have. In 1952 Turing was arrested for homosexuality and sentened

    using a machine called enigma, it also shows an accurate depiction of Bletchley Park and the work of cracking enigma and the things they did to ensure that nobody found out about their work, and it also accurately focuses on Alan Turing and his work on creating a machine to instantly crack messages. The Nazis used the extremely complex enigma code for communication purposes. The British worked on cracking enigma at Bletchley Park and were very

    breaking is a feat which can be achieved by means of using advanced technology, during World War II, code breaking was a vital and dangerous endeavour. The Nazi’s Enigma code was one of the most difficult and essential ciphers to unscramble. The Bletchley Park code breakers actually created what was considered the first prototype of a computer for the purpose cracking the Enigma code. In deciphering the Enigma code many lives were lost, however, a larger number of lives were saved. The Coventry Blitz

    are only just know learning how vital this man truly was not just to winning the war, but to creating the technology we use every day. During the war, Turing worked at Bletchley Park which housed the code breakers who helped decipher intelligence communication to help the Allies defeat Nazi Germany. Turing was invaluable to Bletchley as his work dealt with deciphering the Enigma Machine, which everyone in the world believed to be unbreakable. The machine had multiple rotors which were interchangeable

    number of the intercepted messages from the Germans that could not be decoded. While Bletchley had many marvels of decoding, which allowed for a greater understanding of the German, Japanese and Italian attacks, the German messages coded by Enigma were a true enigma to those working at Bletchley Park. A true revel of every piece of the puzzle that was Enigma would be down to the Bombe Machine. For those at Bletchley Park every pattern that lay within each code of Enigma was an underlying puzzle.

    A Biography of Alan Turing, with Mathematics. From the middle name one may suspect a certain class value,although the "Math" bit is a strange coincidence. His father went to Oxford and then worked for the Indian Civil Service. His mother's father also worked in India. He was born in 1912, their second son. 1926 his father retired so perhaps he had something of normal family life from then on. Went to Sherborne, one of older public schools. Whilst there he became a close friend of Christopher
