During [[World War II]] Turing was assigned to the codebreaking unit at [[Bletchley Park]], where he worked on the decoding of the German's [[Enigma machine]]. Turing's contribution to this has been massively exaggerated. He was actually only one of hundreds of people working at Bletchley, including John Tiltman the chief cryptographer, who was in charge of all projects, and the mathematicians [[Bill Tutte]], [[Max Newman]] and [[Tommy Flowers]].  Other members of the team Turing worked in included R.V. Jones and Peter Calvocoressi.

Work on breaking the Enigma code had started long before the war, and cryptographers from all over Europe including Poland, had done the ground work.
