He laid the mathematical foundation for modern computer science.
Allied Invasion Plans and German Positions Normandy 1944
A lot was known about German positions prior to the Allied Landing in Normandy June 1944. The Allies had Ultra intelligence. Folks at Bletchley Park broke the German Enigma code.
Bletchley Park
Alan Turing had a lot to do with the success of that effort. But he was a homosexual. The British Government arrested him and chemically castrated him for it. British computer scientist John Graham-Cumming thinks it’s time for the British Government to apologize. His petition has been noticed by the BBC and CNN. Cameron Buckner thinks the world should be heard.
I am enthusiastic about this idea, but for one thing. You should not have to be a genius to be treated with dignity.
