> expect the military to donate the most money, due to the huge number of soldiers lives saved through intercepting Nazi communications Defence spending is really complicated. In the UK, annual defence spending typically pays for the cost of equipping and maintaining the armed services, but the costs of actually going on operations are usually from a separate budget. Ops (wars) are essentially a form of unpredictable expense, requested by politicians, not the generals. If the UK defence budget donated to causes like this, there would be less to spend on people, stuff, training, etc. By way of example, the Imperial War Museum [0] is funded by government grants, charitable donations, and revenue generation through commercial activity such as retailing, licensing, and publishing [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_War_Museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_War_Museum [Edit - clarity]
