Real Pride Insight: Alan Turing's Secret Role in WW2

During the Second World War, the allies' key objective was to crack the German army's encrypted communications code. Without a doubt, the key player in this game was Alan Turing, an interdisciplinary scientist, and a long-forgotten hero.

He didn't work alone but his contribution was unique. I'm pleased that he's honoured on our £50 note now.

[@user-ei7rs1vo9c]

It was not him alone that helped changed the course of the war. But he was the only one that was treated with disrespect and made out to be a criminal just be cause of his sexuality, after all that he had done during the war and then tried to do to advance britains role in the computing revolution after the war.

imgine where England would be now if instead of Churchill hiding everything to do with breaking enigmas he embraced it like the United States did. we would be the wealthiest company in the world right now. we would have lead the world in the computer industry. biggest mistake Churchill ever made that was

[@brendahuxtable8767]

What a Brain of course there were others who did their Bit , I am so glad he was honoured by the Queen .

In a way British stealing a credit of decoding “ Enigma “ what was done by Polish mathematics experts in 1932 before outbreak of second war ( Aug 1939 ) Poland decided to share all information with British - together with working “ Enigma “ and mashine called “ Bomba “ which help to speed up process of decoding messages . Polish team - Marian Rejewski . Jerzy Rozycki and Henryk Zygalski . Do not robbed them of work they have done to save millions of lives as well as shortening a time of war .

the very thing that maybe suggest some do know actually, both the how and the why, is the very thing that logistics centers around ...inference!
Maxwell's demon illustration too perhaps was in jest, noematta

[@drenx7454]

Poor turing such a sad ending his life had.

[@terrysmith9362]

he was s vital cog in a machine but he was not yhr machine

[@stephenwright8824]

Damn, this AI bot doing the narration gets around. This is the third video I've heard it in. Do English Zoomers hate the man so much that they have to insult his memory by using the same damn bot? Downvoted with extreme aplomb.

[@DaddySantaClaus]

it was not him alone nevertheless, does this make you feel better, is that it????
common sense is truly gone in the world

[@ronaldschultenover8137]

Why do they have to examine his sex life?

[@johinthpathirs7139]

He was caught with a male prostitute

[@kevinb9830]

His sexuality was irrelevant.

[@TDP8837]

exactly.

[@OleLeik]

@Purpeler
His sexuality was irrelevant for his codebreaking capability and achivments thereof. Although it was obsiviously relevant for the legal troubles he faced later on

[@jkscout]

tell that to the government that murdered him after he saved the world

[@ebc.7]

His way of life was greatly influenced by his sexuality due to it being illegal it most likely effected how he worked

[@apolloana]

it really wasn’t. on his grave it even says he died of prejudice

[@daddybu]

What the fk the title is

[@mauriziomoreni1434]

Thank you what on earth. Are you people saying who he screwed is irrevelevant

[@ronaldschultenover8137]

Maybe he was a bottom man

[@dereksippy4355]

its amazing that a gay guy single handedly saved the world from facism,so let that be a lesson to all strait people to never ever speak ill of our queer overlords...or else!!!

[@barracuda7018]

Singlehandedly my ass..Polish mathematicians cracked the Enigma long before him.
There's nothing in the world that could be achieved singlehandedly..Everything is the result of a teamwork and work and effort done by others before..

[@islamandchristianityhater5713]

​@@barracuda7018 polish cracked different version of enigma

[@eduardaucamp9272]

Not to mention the religious straight bigots who would send him to Hades and burn in hell.

[@apolloana]

@@barracuda7018 he still used his machine to crack the enigma.

[@julielevinge266]

Still pompous & still scared of gay people!!
Now that’s sad!😢

[@martina5296]

What does putting "gay" in describing him have to do with who he was and what he did? No ones sexuality or gender identity has anything with who a person is. Just like race or religion. It shouldn't matter.

[@islamandchristianityhater5713]

Lol but he sure was killed cuz he was gay

[@ebc.7]

It probably effected the way he lived considering it was illegal one of the main reasons he went to boarding school was because the way he acted

[@Alan-jp4ls]

He’s wasn’t gay if you mean homosexual
