Documentary that reveals the secret story behind one of the greatest intellectual feats of World War II, a feat that gave birth to the digital age. In 1943, a 24-year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack into Hitler's personal super-code machine - not Enigma but an even tougher system, which he called his 'secrets writer'. Their break turned the Battle of Kursk, powered the D-day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in Europe. But it was also to be used during the Cold War - which meant both men's achievements were hushed up and never officially recognised.
#公开探索BBC# 089 Tutte手工破解了德军Lorenz密码的加密方式。Tommy Flowers为破解密码发明了世界上第一台半编程型电子计算机(没图灵什么事?)。 而一切的起因是德国密电发布员偷懒使用了缩写。 因为军事机密的关系,战后二人一直未能得到公开承认表彰和重视。 解密部分看得似懂非懂。
Bletchley Park当年到底隐藏了多少天才的故事。
上学的时候，有个进步的老师有过一些新的教学思路----用电影让学生了解历史....现在想来，真的是个做不成的事，真的读历史的人，肯定会觉得看片儿太慢，不如读书来的爽，不关心历史的又只会钻到情节里，毕竟你推荐了来看的多是些好片儿！纪录片就相对好点！比如对于《模仿游戏》里的恩格玛机.....
向人类历史上的天才们致敬，科学的发展史理应留下属于他们的丰碑。
人类智力的另类较量。
