Would be nice to mention the whole effort, not only Turing. Like the fact that Poles were reading Enigma encrypted messages before the WW2, and send all information they aquired to France and Great Brittain.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis_of_the_Enigma#Polish_breakthrough" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis_of_the_Enigma#Pol...</a><p>I mean - Turing was brilliant, but why everybody only tell the story from the middle ?

It's a shame that even now, Alan Turing, since he was gay, wouldn't be allowed to get married in the UK.

If this article piqued your interest, be sure to read Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson.
