https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog/intro... is a good resource for understanding Turing Machines. There used to be a way to share a link with non-subscribers but for some reason I can't find it now.

Not particularly scientific but you could also checkout the 2014 movie Imitation Game: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2084970/

For bit of background about Turing’s life and efforts in WW2.
