I'm having a slow internet day, so I'll have to watch the video later, but on the subject of Enigma: recently a woman living in the local retirement home and hospital received a medal for her work at Bletchley Park. She was one of the codebreakers, but was never allowed to talk about what she did afterwards. At the presentation, with message from the UK Prime Minister, and with the local newspaper in attendance, she said everyone was making a lot of fuss over her for nothing and she only did her bit in the war like everyone did. I was very impressed and kept the newspaper clipping about her, but I think she'd rather I didn't visit her and ask more questions.
