It's ironic that this machine was probably ditched in 1945, years after Bletchley had broken the Enigma code. The Germans never suspected that their "unbreakable" code had in fact been broken.

The Japanese actually suspected their codes had been broken, but reasoned from a conclusion. Since the codes were unbreakable, they concluded they had been the victims of spies or traitors.

He pretty much invented the computer.

I read somewhere that the Apple logo...the rainbow colored with a bite take out of it..was directly related to Alan Turing.

It was easier to ask Sgt Schultz for information.

Surprisingly it only came out (of the closet as it were) a few times but not enough to sour the movie, actually a well done story.

He was sentenced to, and suffered chemical castration and the result from that ended when he killed himself.

I would assume it is historically accurate.

"Since the codes were unbreakable, they [the Japanese] concluded they had been the victims of spies or traitors."

And Allied intelligence would help to confirm their mistaken suspicions.

My recollection from the book "Bodyguard of Lies" is that the destruction of the resupply of fuel to Rommel was accompanied by fake transmissions which thanked non-existing groups for information that allowed tracking of the re-supply tankers. In fact, the information came from decryption of German messages.

The book's title comes from a Churchill quote: "In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."

"... the Apple logo ..."

Didn't Google have a motto, "Don't be evil"?

Now I realize that the Apple logo with a bite out of it might be a reference to the first sin, taking a bite out of an apple from Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

I think we have the beginnings of a good conspiracy theory here.
