I don't know if this has been done before, but I have an idea for a timeline, where the the Polish Mathematicians who fled to Britain at the beginning of the Second World War were captured by Germans, so never arrived. Without them, the British did not have an enigma machine to work with, so did not know the flaws. Without knowledge of the flaws they could exploit, the German Code was never broken. My question is this: If the UK did not have the knowledge of the Codes, so could not locate the U-Boats, would the UK have starved/capitulated? Or would it just cause the computer to be delayed several years? So what would have happened?
