    Turing improved upon the electromechanical Polish bombe machine and used that for cryptanalysis during the war. Bombes weren’t computers. His war work is often confused with the Colossus computers built by Tommy Flowers also at Bletchley Park, which built on some Turing theory, but with which Turing was not involved.
