Did Turing commit suicide or was he suicided for his efforts?

They shortened the war in a big way, they deserve the recognition

Were any Brits involved in the Hollywood version?

What do you think?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-571_(film)

starring Matthew McConaughey, Bill Paxton, Harvey Keitel, Thomas Kretschmann, Jon Bon Jovi, Jack Noseworthy, Will Estes, and Tom Guiry.

In the film, a World War II German submarine is boarded in 1942 by disguised United States Navy submariners, seeking to capture her Enigma cipher machine.

So, to summarise, they're all Septics, apart from the German gentleman.

But it's ok, since the Septics did all the work in Burma too.

And they didn't do much great escaping either.

Whilst we are on the topic, Bletchley Park is a fantastically interesting place to spend a day. Twas recommended to me by one of the bints on here last year (Sue Ellen?) and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's 20 minutes away from where I live and I've never been there.

I used to go there all the time when I was a kid but that was before they had the museum and stuff.
