Alan Turning and the Enigma

Time Ghost Captain
Since WW2 week by week is now getting deeper in depth with Enigma intercepts, it would be nice to learn more about the man behind the code-breaking machine. Thank you for your consideration.

I really hope they cover him (and specifically just how long it took for some his research to be declassified - https://www.theverge.com/2012/4/23/2968435/alan-turing-cryptography-papers-released-gchq 2012!!!), John Von Neumann and Dr. Rear Admiral Grace Hopper (created COBOL, worked on the Mark I during the war).

(actually just the history of very Early computing, from the IBM counting machines in germany to the development of the mark system and Church-Turing thesis and how it played out during the war.)
