We can say that before and during this war, Alan’ s life was filled with significant and important events, but let’ s see what happened in it after the end of WW II …
In 1945 Alan’ s interest was on the Delilah. The Delilah actually worked.“ Alan had created a sophisticated piece of electronic technology out of nothing, and it worked”. The Delilah was finished at about the time of the German surrender. During those days we can say that Alan Turing had learned how to build a brain – an electronic brain. Working with one assistant in a small hut, an English homosexual atheist mathematician had conceived of the computer. Even at that time he was still the least political person – in that aspect nothing changed. Apart from his scientific work, Alan continued with his passion for running. He was called“ an electronic athlete” by the sports reporter of the Evening News regarding the authorship of the digital computer … Monday 18 August was declared to be the official start to building the ACE. At that time Alan went on with his marathons as well. He had tried himself out against much stronger competition than that of the local suburban clubs. In the Southern Countries ten-mile championship he had done‘ very badly’, but two weeks later at the National ten-mile event had come in sixty-second place out of three hundred runners. He had taken running rather seriously.
