Turing’s Role in Breaking Enigma

During World War II, Alan Turing played a pivotal role at Bletchley Park in cracking Germany’s Enigma code. He designed the Bombe, a machine that automated the decryption of Enigma-encrypted messages, significantly aiding Allied efforts. By 1943, Turing’s work helped decode thousands of messages daily, shortening the war (Copeland, 2012). How did codebreaking impact WWII? Ask our AI assistant!
