During World War II, Alan Turing worked at Bletchley Park, the British government's codebreaking center. He played a crucial role in decrypting the German Enigma machine, which was vital for the Allies' intelligence efforts. Turing's work significantly contributed to the success of military operations, ultimately aiding in the shortening of the war. His efforts at Bletchley Park laid the groundwork for modern computer science and cryptography.

Who was called as father of computer?
Alan Turing is considered by many to be the "father" of the modern computer because of his work in breaking the Enigma codes during WW2. (Alan Turing - The Enigma of Intelligence by Andrew Hodges 1983)
What was Alan Mathison Turing known for?
Alan Turing was an English mathematician. During World War 2 he worked on decyphering secret messages and invented a Turing Machine, that became the basis of modern computing.Turing provided an influential formalisation of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine. With the Turing test, he made a significant and characteristically provocative contribution to the debate regarding artificial intelligence: whether it will ever be possible to say that a machine is conscious and can think.Turing machine - hypothetical computer used as part of his proof of the "Halting Problem" used in his paper "On Computable Numbers" to show that there are problems that are not solvable by any computer, even one with infinite memory and time.Cryptographic work in WW2.Early british postwar computer work.Being homosexual.Losing his British security clearances after WW2 for being homosexual.Suicide over loss of clearances and career.Dec 24, 2013 - Computer pioneer and codebreaker Alan Turing is given a posthumous royal pardon for his 1952 conviction for homosexuality.
Why did Alan Turing invented the computer?
Alan Turing did not invent the computer. He worked during WW2 at breaking military codes. He also considered the concept, called a "Turing machine", which was a machine that could make itself. In his example, this was a tape machine (punched paper tape in those days) which could make itself. Most importantly, he posed the Turing Test, which was a test to decide whether a machine could develop intelligence. This test has so far resisted a 'yes' answer, but the performance of applicants continues to get better. There is a good reference to him in wikipedia.org.

Which countries were your enemies during work war 2?
That depends on which side you wee fighting on in WW2.
Names of German codes broken by the Allies in WW2?
During World War II, the Allies successfully broke several German codes, most notably the Enigma machine codes, which were used for secure military communications. The work of cryptanalysts at Bletchley Park, particularly by figures like Alan Turing, led to the decryption of Enigma messages. Additionally, the Allies also managed to break the Lorenz cipher, used for high-level communications. These breakthroughs significantly contributed to the Allied victory by providing critical intelligence on German operations.
Who led russia during WW2?
Josef Stalin was the leader of the Russians during WW2.
Why was Alan Turing famous?
He was instrumental in the breaking of the German Enigma code in WW2 (Codename Ultra) at Station X, Bletchley Park. A computer named Colossus was built which deciphered messages: The error in the code was that no letter pressed on the keyboard would replicate itself. The British were at great pains not to let the Germans know of its ability to detect & decode messages. The Enigma machine had 3 or 4 rotors and was highly complex. Turing was one among many who made this detection possible.
What was the name of first computer used?
This is not altogether strait forward to answer. It depends on which country's history you look at (and what you define as a computer) but certainly the very first computer that could be programmed was (a mechanical computer) invented by Charles Baggage (the difference engine) in In 1822. Then in 1936, during WW2, Alan Turing described the "Turing" machine, a design which all electronic computers have followed since. The A Mark 2 Colossus computer was the worlds first semi programmable computer and was invented in Blechley Park during WW2 to break the German Enigma codes. After the war the US was in a better financial position to develop commercial version of computers and began to patent designs (the British did not pursue commercial patents like the US and hence lost out). The history of the US development of computers can be seen in the related link I will make below.
