The Personality that caused me the most anguish was that of Alan Turin who did so much to break the secret German Engima code during WW2. He was a tortured soul who spent most of his young life under scrutiny. I believe I read somewhere he even went through the chemical castration process. What a waste of such a gifted individual. Rip, I hope u have found the peace u deserve. .

It's so tragic that Alan Turing, a man who saved countless lives, was destroyed simply because of his sexual orientation.

[@funeralfy]

Alan Turing was ahead of his time in more ways than one - a true genius with a tragic fate.
