When I visited London, I had the opportunity to take the train a short way north
to Bletchley Park. During World War II, this is where Alan Turing (among many
others) worked tirelessly to break the ciphers the German forces used to encrypt
their messages. Most notably, this is where the Enigma machine was broken, with
the help of mechanical computing machines developed by Turing and others.
It was thrilling to be here where so much history had taken place.
