Not only did Turing not invent computers, he didn't even invent 'Computer Science', he invented Theoretical Computer Science, which is a branch of it. Also people credit him with coming up with the concept of AI, that is also false, he came up with a method that he theorized could test if a machine truly had an AI. The point is Turing had a big impact, but people credit him with way more than he actually did.

They never had a full break (unlike the Poles for the 3 wheel Enigma). They were able to break the more complex later Enigmas by initializing the Bombes (which BTW, is not a computer, it is a multiple Enigma emulator) with heuristics which were called Turingery. It worked on some days, but not on others. And, because Enigma carried tactical traffic, it became out of date very quickly. Strategic traffic was carried by the Lorenz stream-cipher machines which was broken at the end of 1943 using the Colossus computer built by Tommy Flowers based on the work of Bill Tutte with minor input from Turing.

The inherent problem with encryption is that `TRUE` randomness is very difficult to achieve using either computers or people since both excel at both creating and seeing patterns (i.e. those black blotches look like a doggie, those clouds look like...). With that flaw and the directed requirement coming from the idea that code needs to be de-cryptable by the intended party (the sendee), you, as the code-breaker, are left with an always solvable problem where it is known that there is a readable message hidden in the gobbledygook. As shown here, the more likely you know the content of any message, the easier it becomes.

What makes this scene so brilliant isn't that come people cracked a code, it's the gravity of what breaking Enigma meant: the lives that will be saved, the intelligence, the ability to make strategic decisions, and ultimately the insight to winning the war.

The achievement of Alan Turing's work was the --> speed ---> at which the Enigma codes could be broken. Yes, other code breaker teams (including the Polish) had had success after considerable effort and time. But knowing enemy communications weeks or even months afterwards was of little use. The issue, as shown in the film was the enigma code changed daily and all the work over the past 23 hours, 59 minutes was now useless and had to be started all over again. Turing's 'Christopher' aka 'The Bombe' could break down Enigma's encryption in minutes and provide access to German communications in almost real time.

Can you even imagine being there when they cracked the first message? And what I didn’t realize was that they built as many as 50 of these machines and they were called bombs. Christopher is a bit more palatable in terms of making the movie. And the cast is brilliant. I’m sometimes truly amazed at how casting directors can sometimes put together the perfect cast.

The Polish broke the 3-rotor code. The Wehrmacht and Kriegsmarine used 4 rotors. Then the Germans replaced 4-rotor Enigma for Lorenz, that was what Colossus was for, and that was broken by Bill Tutte. It was Turing who showed them a) how to break codes, b) how to use machines, and c) how to use computers. This is why Turing is a fully paid-up genius.

What an incredible and remarkably unique mind this man had...the world cannot thank him enough for what he did for us nor apologize enough for what they did to him.

Many people have no idea about the intelligence of Alan M. Turing. Even during his last breathe, he was working on computational biology. That means he could've proposed a machine that is capable of telling you if a mutation is possible in polynomial time or not. You wouldbve been able to predict the behaviour of organisms and produce medicones in such manners. Turing machine was meant to do a lot. It was converted into the very first electrical computer. Just imagine what would it become if he could've shared all his mathematical proofs. As a computer science graduate, I understand his immense contribution. He paved the way of Internet in which you're writing comments, watching this video. I'm talking about Finite Automata, you may have never heard this term. In his name, every year Turing award is awarded which is called the Nobel of Computer Science. It's worth 10 million USD. I admire him and his intelligence. It gives me motivation to invent, to continue academic research, to carry humanity forward with real-life solutions. What a man he was!

While Turing was important in the decryption of Enigma, Tunny and the other cyphers, and was fundamental to computing, it should be pointed out that the Poles had already cracked Enigma and the Brits were using a development of Polish equipment to help do it. To give the correct people the credit, the team that actually cracked Enigma was Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski. They first cracked Enigma back in 1934. This was with the help of documents given to the French by a German agent codenamed Asche, who is still unidentified. It should also be noted that a Swedish mathematician was decoding Tunny traffic (using a ten rotor Enigma machine) by hand around this time. This was very important as Tunny traffic was diplomatic traffic and had a much longer useful life.

I personally would give all credit to Turing, because he was the one they later punished, for being something they weren't.

Turing's work enabled the Bombe systems to break more Enigma wheels than before this breakthrough. He also initiated UK/US relationships to a new level of understanding and cooperation in cryptosystems. This gave both sides massive breakthroughs in decoding all the Axis countries inlcuding the legendary Japanese Purple encrypts. This level of cooperation enabled breaking the 4 wheel Enigma systems down from several hours to about 50 minutes. The large number of Navy Bombe's (121 to be exact) made it vastly easier for local cryptos to break wheels and decrypt messages for it was locally available, instead of traveling 20-50 miles to another location to access one.

To walk such a delicate balance of having full knowledge of the messages and yet restraining from any perceptual intervention so as to not give away the advantage.

My secret dream would be to one day experience what those guys that night felt after they deciphered Enigma. Knowing that you are living a moment in your life that will be regarded as one of the most crucial pivot point in human history, something that people would be talking about hundreds of years later. The feeling of having accomplished something hard, so hard that no one else on the planet could reach before that moment. I know that Turing and his team were not the first not the only, but that was what they experienced that night. It gives me chills to simply think about it.

A personal favorite film, saw it twice in the theater and twice on my digital copy.

Historical context: That trick with common phrases was used by the Poles even before the war, when they cracked the code in 1932, which they did tell the British about.

Alan Turing literally saved the world from tyranny and oppression by breaking this code! And then the world committed tyranny and oppression against him anyways. I'm not sure there is anything more heroic than a man who would give his life for even those who hate him. ALAN TURING = HERO

For those singing Alan's praises, he didn't do it alone, never mentioned in this film is Tommy Flowers, an engineer at Bletchley (originally from the GPO) who had to actually build colossus, it was only possible because he had been working on automated operator machines before the war and so could turn theoretical ideas into valves and rotor arms, after the war he had such great ideas which would have worked, but because of the OSA could never explain his ideas would work because he could never explain about colossus.

What an absolute genius. Alan and the rest of them saved millions and millions of lives. Soldiers, civilians all saved by his genius.

I love the scene where the code is finally broken. It is widely considered that breaking the Enigma Code shortened WW2 by several years and saved millions of lives.

"Never in the history of wars has so much been owed by so many to so few" - this is the most famous phrase uttered during World War II by the Prime Minister of Great Britain Winston Churchill's British on August 20, 1940. In this way he honored the airmen of the British RAF (Royal Air Force), who on the 13th day repulsed the massive attack of the German air force (Luftwaffe) on Great Britain. This attack went down in history as the Battle of Britain. These words were said primarily to commemorate the participation of Polish and Czech airmen in this fight. The symbol of their brotherhood in arms is the 303 Squadron (look on Google "303 Repinski Transport Squadron). As for the Enigma... The first Polish copy of the military version of "Enigma" was built in the "Ava" factory in Warsaw in 1933. The process of putting the elements together took place in Pyry near Warsaw. Since then, Poles could read German military correspondence. For almost seven years, Polish intelligence transmitted to the French and British German military telegrams, obtained thanks to the work of the Polish Cipher Bureau. However, the method of obtaining the information has not been disclosed. Only in 1939, as a result of deteriorating Polish-German relations, the management of the Cipher Bureau decided to reveal to the allies the secret of the work of Polish intelligence services. For this purpose, in the spring of 1939, a meeting of Polish, English and French cryptological services was organized in Pyry. In addition to a copy of the Polish "Enigma", they received mathematical assumptions regarding the methods of operating the machine. In 1940, the British created their own center where German messages were read using the "Enigma". This greatly facilitated the actions of the local land forces, while until 1942 the British had a huge problem with the naval army. It was only thanks to the capture of the German submarine U-110 and four meteorological ships with "Enigma" encryption machines and code books on board that the British managed to break the navy's most difficult code. Thanks to the acquired ability to read German military reports, the British began to regain control of the sea. It was Poles who created the basis for decryption, but the English for many years tried to appropriate this achievement for themselves. According to Witold Głębowicz, this is partly due to the publications that appeared after World War II. Many of their authors knew that the British had a system for reading the "Enigma" ciphers, but they did not know the origin of this system and how it was broken. The first information indicating that Poles contributed to the deciphering of the "Enigma" appeared in the early 1970s. However, the official confirmation by the British of the role of the Poles in breaking the "Enigma" code took place only after Poland's accession to NATO in 1999.

Would liked a scene where the Team would have reveal their discovery to the crusty Generals

There may never be another genius like Alan Turing.

Love the nicely spoken chap with the brown jacket in the back .... he doesn't know quite what's happening but he knows something is ... he wasn't allowed to write his memoirs - but gently let it be known that he worked with Turing on that tremendous night.

Best part about analog systems is if some idiot trips over a power cord like right at the end of this scene, they haven't lost anything.

Alan Turing was a genius. But this clip speaks also to another issue. Why didn't those trying to break the code talk to those who transcribed the intercepted messages? Imagine if the woman who told Turing about the repeated letters actually was asked for her input early on. She even says that her teammates all have a feel for their counterparts' patterns.

Enigma was a masterpiece of engineering and cryptography. There are detailed animated videos of how it worked and it was intense as hell. To reverse engineer a code that shifts registers the way Enigma did is nothing short of pure genius. Also, let's not forget the crew of the HMS Bulldog who captured the Enigma machine and code books from U-110. Another amazing feat of work, especially as they would have been an absolute priority to destroy for the crew.
