Agree. I recently visited Bletchley Park and one of the astonishing life stories was of Bill Tutte. He was as instrumental as Turing and became a professor in graph theory after WW2. Astonishing for me was that he had to 'restart' a career after the war in science, since nothing he did during the war counted as professional experience. Obviously he did very well, but I still felt for the people coming out Bletchley post-war. You had nothing of professional experience to show, while at least some did groundbreaking stuff. There must be untold stories of people whom did not become well-known.
