The Bombe Machine
The "Bombe" had been a machine built by Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman. The layout inspiration of what brought them to this unique machine was the version before the Bombe named the "Bomba". The Bombe was a machine that would decrypt complex codes and ciphers back in the 1940's. It had been one of the fastest activating machine of its time. The machine had been battling a super complex code under the name of the German Enigma code. The code had given details of important plans and there locations of U boats. Every message sent from the Germans had been coded. There wording had been translated in a top secret decryption disguise, revealing important information. Which the British had figured out. It had shown important information used by Hitler's "High Command". The Bombe machine has been remade at Bletchley Park. The German Enigma code had been finally broken in the 1940's as a result Alan and Gordon were given awards for there outstanding work and effort with the hardest code ever. The Enigma was once called impossible and was supposed to never be found out by the British.
Turing MachineWhat was the Turing Machine exactly? The Turing machine had been created by Alan Turing in 1936. The machine was a modernized computer.It wasn't like any computer out today. It had just been the start of the mechanical side of today's computers. It was said to be the beginning of computer science and the true start of technology.

MemorialsAlan is remembered everywhere at Bletchley Park and the United Kingdom. Statues of where he had sat and where he had been on campus. Quotes and his machine Bombe are still at Bletchley Park and shall forever stay as a remembrance of a great human being who had been treated so wrongly in the end.
