In order to learn more about the social context of the 1940s, I made a visit to Bletchley Park museum and grounds, to see the code-breaking Enigma machines, and the world's first computer "Colossus." The visit was an interesting experience, I learned a lot about the war, and the circumstances surrounding it. One of the most pivotal points that I picked up on during this visit, is that the work that the staff of Bletchley Park carried out - effectively shortened the war by about two years. Crazy.
