    1939: #Turing created “the bombe,” an electromechanical device that detected #ENIGMA settings so German encryptions could be deciphered.

        @CIA Named after the ice cream treat that one of the Polish engineers working on it was eating at lunch one day.

        @CIA Don't forget work of Polish cryptologists from before '39. Without their achievements, Turing wouldn't crack Enigma. They were first.

        @CIA Actually, he did not create the bombe- he just revolutionized the way they could be connected and programmed.

        @CIA @AustinDizzy I thought he named it after his friend, ah that movie was probably well-fictionalized.

        @XweAponX According to this reddit comment - http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/2mlrer/how_accurate_is_the_new_alan_turing_imitation/cm5hzrp … - the "bombe" originated from Poland which Turing greatly expanded on.
