SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH): Cassandra Hatton, Bonhams Auction House "So it's an original German World War II Enigma Enciphering Machine. This machine dates to about 1944. This machine is what accounted for the Nazi success up until the point that Turing and the other code breakers at Bletchley Park were able to break this code. So were it not for Turing and the other code breakers the war would have ended very differently and again it's primarily thanks to the technology found inside of this machine." 12.

It is expected to fetch more than one million dollars. The 56 page manuscript dates from 1942 when Turing was working to break the German Enigma code, according to the auction house. It is filled with math and other writings that contributed to the birth of modern computer languages. Turing was the focus of the 2014 Oscar winning movie 'The Imitation Game.' The handwritten notebook was saved by his friend and fellow codebreaker Robin Gandy, who wrote about his dreams in the same notebook. Also at auction is a working Enigma Machine, built by the German military late in World War II. It generated the secret wartime code that Turing and others working at Bletchley Park in the UK were able to break. The Enigma cipher machine is expected to sell for between 140 and 180 thousand dollars.
