When Britain was weeks away from losing the war, when it had only two weeks' worth of food left, Turing cracked the Enigma code. German U-boat blockade was broken by effective interceptions and the rest is history. What would very likely have happened if Turing did not step in? Britain, like so many brave castles of earlier times, would have fallen, starved to submission. Rommel would have rolled on unopposed to rule the Middle East and its oil. Soviet Union would not have received vast shipments of free hardware on which to roll westwards. The US would have been quite unable to intervene in Europe without its 'offshore aircraft carrier'. Not that it even wanted to. At the very least Hitler would have bought himself plenty of time to develop nuclear weapons. He already had the only effective rocket delivery system and jet aeroplanes. Isn't it ironical that the man who did more than anyone to save the world from an opressive and intolerant regime was himself castrated under the threat of imprisonment for being a homosexual? Was denied further government work for being a 'criminal' security risk and thus professionally ruined? Was driven to suicide, if that is what it was?
