Turing’s war - how he led the codebreaking effort against the German Enigma cipher at Bletchley Park, designed the Bombe machine that cracked it, and helped change the course of the Second World War.
You learned how Turing led the attack on the Enigma cipher at Bletchley Park, designing the Bombe machine to break it. Explain how Enigma worked, how Turing’s method defeated it, and why this mattered for the war and for computing.
Leads to Pascal.
