Turin, the genius who decoded Enigma, was chemically castrated and hounded to suicide for his homosexuality despite the fact that he may well have saved Britain from Hitler. But thanks to the ebullient maths whiz on the radio just now I also know that he loved the Snow White movie of the time, and chose to kill himself with a poisoned apple!
