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.
