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.
