    During the mid-1980’s to early-1990’s, few television shows made as much of an impact on pop culture as MacGyver did. Even if you never watched the show, you’ve heard other people use the name, perhaps to describe using a credit card to open a locked door. The title character of the program, Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) was famous for creating makeshift tools out of ordinary objects to escape or avoid perilous situations. MacGyver became such a well-known name that the Oxford Dictionary

    Alan Turing is a rare figure amongst the many historical worthies of post-war Britain. He would, at first, seem an unlikely candidate to become a popular icon. He worked within a comparatively novel and arcane scientific field, the central concepts of which are still only fully understood by specialists. It was one which emerged from mostly from his own high-level theoretical reasoning and debating the earlier work of the similarly obscure Kurt Gödel upon whether mathematical processes could truly

    Brooke Golik Ms. Jennifer Vroom Europe and the World 5/13/16 The Real Historical Accuracy of Enigma Most historically based movies try to reenact exactly what happened in the historical events that took place, while others have added twists to them, like a change in storyline, proving its historical inaccuracy. The 2001 film Enigma stars Tom Jericho, a British mathematician who solved the German Enigma code, “shark”, the first time around and is called back into Bletchley Park to do it again.

    surrounding intelligence radio transitions and Enigma decoding. Huts 6 through 8 were allocated to the decoding of Enigma. The one thing holding the Allies back in the war was the large number of the intercepted messages from the Germans that could not be decoded. While Bletchley had many marvels of decoding, which allowed for a greater understanding of the German, Japanese and Italian attacks, the German messages coded by Enigma were a true enigma to those working at Bletchley Park. A true revel

    German Enigma machine. The Germans had created unbreakable Enigma code. They created an Enigma machine which encrypted Morse code transmission message. The radio operators would need a key to put in the Enigma machine to decode the encrypted message. The Enigma machine worked by allowing the operator to type in a message, then scramble it by using three to five notched wheels/rotors, which displayed different letters of the alphabet (BBC). The reason why the Germans said it was unbreakable Enigma code

    the viewer on how the Nazis communicated using a machine called enigma, it also shows an accurate depiction of Bletchley Park and the work of cracking enigma and the things they did to ensure that nobody found out about their work, and it also accurately focuses on Alan Turing and his work on creating a machine to instantly crack messages. The Nazis used the extremely complex enigma code for communication purposes. The British worked on cracking enigma at Bletchley Park and were very

    entire film and that was the Enigma machine. This machine was said to be the unbreakable message translator that would be all the leverage needed for Germany to have the victory at the end of the tunnel. The Enigma machine was easy to understand but extremely difficult to break, especially when you only had 24 hours to break that days worth of codes and then after all the work would change for a new day of code breaking. The second motif would be Turing’s machine named Christopher.

    The Imitation Game The film, “The Imitation Game”, follows the life of Alan Turing, a homosexual mathematician, who became a war hero after breaking Enigma, an encryption device that the Germans used for communication purposes during World War II. Decoding Enigma had a major effect on World War II. In 1939, Alan Turing, and four other code breakers, Joan Clarke, Hugh Alexander, John Cairncross, and Peter Hilton were employed by the British military as cryptographers to decipher the secret messages
