  1. Peter Cromerovich from Erehwon, Canada writes: You might think, given the inestimable advantage this gave the allies during WWII plus the importance today of computing and cryptography that a museum and preservation of this house would be a given.
    Since cryptography and computing touch everyone's life today with banking and internet purchases etc. etc. I think a gesture of thanks and recognition of mathematical and computing "nerds" is long overdue.
    I hope also the pre-war efforts of Polish and French cryptographers to Enigma are also recognised.
  2. Alistair McLaughlin from Canada writes: Anyone interested in this subject should read up on Canadian Sir William Stephanson and his role in creating and guiding the Bletchly code-breaking effort. A truly heroic Canadian who has never gotten his due.

    Yes, an enigmatic site where they worked on the ...ENIGMA machine.

    Sheesh.
