Alan Turing: The Man Who Cracked the Enigma Code! (1912–1954)

Alan Turing: The Man Who Cracked the Enigma Code! (1912–1954) Welcome to History with BMResearch! In this documentary, we uncover the life of Alan Turing—the brilliant mathematician who cracked the Enigma Code during World War II, reshaping the outcome of the war and laying the foundation for computer science and artificial intelligence. From his top-secret work at Bletchley Park with the Bombe Machine to his groundbreaking Turing Test, Turing’s mind changed history. Yet, despite his heroism, he was persecuted under outdated laws, making his life a pivotal part of LGBTQ history and a powerful story of triumph and tragedy. Join us as we explore cryptography, intelligence warfare, and the man behind it all. This is not just a history documentary—it’s the untold journey of one of the greatest codebreakers in British history. Whether you're a fan of The Imitation Game, fascinated by WW2 history, or drawn to the origins of computing, this story will inspire and inform. 0:00 - Early Life and Childhood 5:32 - School Years and Loss of Christopher 11:04 - Cambridge and the Birth of Big Ideas 16:36 - Princeton and Theoretical Breakthroughs 22:08 - Return to Britain and Rise of Enigma Threat 27:40 - Bletchley Park and Breaking the Enigma 33:12 - Codebreaking Becomes a War Machine 38:44 - D-Day, Intelligence, and Secrecy 44:16 - Post-War Career and the Birth of AI 49:48 - The Turing Test and Machine Intelligence 55:20 - Conviction and Decline 1:00:52 - Final Years and Tragic Death 1:06:24 - Rediscovery and Historical Recognition 1:11:56 - Legacy, Justice, and Lasting Impact ✅ Sources Copeland, B.
