The code-breaker machine of World War II was worked on by hundreds of waves at "building" 26, National Cash Register of Dayton, Ohio. They helped build hundreds of motors for the code-breaker machine that saved millions of lives in the European and Pacific theaters of war.
They did not know the great value of their work for many years. It was not until the 1990s that they were let in on the secret machine and its part in World War II.
Many waves died before they knew of their part in World War II, saving so many lives of both aggressor and non-aggressor. Those waves, alive and dead, should receive a special medal of honor from the president of the United States.
The engineer who designed this machine, Joseph Desch, should receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for the millions of lives he saved on both sides of the war.
The man was heart broken over the millions of lives he felt he had destroyed. He did not realize the millions he had saved on both sides, by bringing the war to a close. He is very deserving of America's highest honor.
