Famous Historian: By the summer of 1943, the British-made Colossus computer had cracked the German's infamous Enigma code, and now plans could be set for an Invasion of Europe. Allied casualties should have been appalling when they attacked the previously heavily-guarded Atlantic wall, but fortunately Bradshaw had routed all of his manpower to going after the "12-year-old geeks on their parents' computer," thus opening all of Fortress Europe to Allied attacks.
That, among several other things, is why John Bradshaw Layfield is commemorated here, on the History Channel's "History's Greatest Dumbasses."
