Max Newman lectured at Cambridge (to Tom Kilburn, Geoff Tootill and Alan Turing!) before he became one of the mathematicians drafted in the war into the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, in 1942. (In fact it was his lectures that sparked Turing's famous early paper On Computable Numbers, and it was to Newman Turing first showed his paper.)
