Mundens – his mathemtical contributions were of the highest order, agreed. My point really is that he saved the British establishment and look how it treated him.

Lawrence – yes, I have seen that, twice as it happens. It’s a powerful piece of drame and I recommend it to anyone. You don’t need to be a crypto-geek – it’s warm and human in its treatment of Turing’s brlliance and his demise.

I think his fundamental contributions to computer science, such as the Turing machine, and it’s associated derivatives and mathematics, are far more important than his contributions to the war effort.
