The code breakers at Bletchley Park, not only did some of the first computer scientists break the Enigma code. The first computer was invented in Britain designed to break the Lornez Cipher. Without the first computer programmers the allies would have never been able to read any of Germany's messages between high ranking generals and Hilter himself. Without it we would have not been able to trick the armies to focus their attention in Itally while we stormed the beaches of Normandy. These people were never celebrated for their work in cryptography.And what would of happened? Germany would of taken over Europe. The cold war probably would never have happened between Russia and the United States, and thus we probably would have never reached the moon.</blockquote>
