So put on the new £50 note for helping Britain win World War Two then did he?
>> convicted for having sex with a male partner.
Extremely important this is central to his accomplishments /s
I hope the Bank of England offers these for sale overseas as souvenirs.
They’ll have to change the aphorism to as queer as a 50 pound note.
“helped Britain win World War Two with his code-breaking skills but is believed to have killed himself after being convicted for having sex with a male partner.”
We know which one he’s being honored for.
Turing was one of the heroes most responsible for our winning the war. He was treated very shabbily for that.
There is no need to celebrate his perversity in order to celebrate his accomplishment. Do they celebrate a heterosexual’s sex life when talking about their accomplishments in these situations?
I’m sure the norks are already counterfeiting it as we speak.
However, history says some Polish mathematicians broke the codes first. Keep in mind there were many versions of Enigma since invented in 1933.
Don't know if true in the movie, but the English high command would not use his knowledge to stop certain attacks. To many would show Germany that their codes had been compromised.
Olivia Newton-John’s father worked at Bletchley Park during the war. According to her bio because he could speak fluent German he interrogated Hess and even took him out to dinner in London as part of that. Her maternal grandfather also won the Nobel prize in physics. He got physical before she did. :)
Good.
