NO mention of POles, well done research team.
@abdirahmanidris290
I went to Bletchley Park. The tour guide explicily mentioned the role of the poles in bringing information to Britain so the code-breakers could get to work. A joint effort between Britain and Poland.

During the African campaign there was a German Radio Operator stationed in the Southern part of Libya, North Africa. The allies banned any operations or activities within 20 miles of this station. Because then this radio operator would send an identical message “Keine besonderen Ereignisse”, ("Nothing to report"), early every morning. Bletchley - knowing exactly what the message said - used this to work backwards to that day's enigma settings. He inadvertently gave away the daily settings every day for about 5 months.
@jcv71
What about the credit to the polish mathematicians Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Rozycki??
@wino0000006
If not Poles that had already broke the enigma in 1932 - Brits would have been chasing unicorns.
@SynthBro
No mention of the Poles, nice.

It was the poles who cracked it: Military Enigma machine, model "Enigma I", used during the late 1930s and during the war; displayed at Museo scienza e tecnologia Milano, Italy Military Enigma machine (in wooden box) The Enigma machines were a series of electro-mechanical rotor cipher machines developed and used in the early- to mid-20th century to protect commercial, diplomatic and military communication. Enigma was invented by the German engineer Arthur Scherbius at the end of World War I.[1] Early models were used commercially from the early 1920s, and adopted by military and government services of several countries, most notably Nazi Germany before and during World War II.[2] Several different Enigma models were produced, but the German military models, having a plugboard, were the most complex. Japanese and Italian models were also in use. Around December 1932, Marian Rejewski, a Polish mathematician and cryptanalyst, while working at the Polish Cipher Bureau, used the theory of permutations and flaws in the German military message encipherment procedures to break the message keys of the plugboard Enigma machine. Rejewski achieved this result without knowledge of the wiring of the machine, so the result did not allow the Poles to decrypt actual messages. The French spy Hans-Thilo Schmidt obtained access to German cipher materials that included the daily keys used in September and October 1932. Those keys included the plugboard settings. The French passed the material to the Poles, and Rejewski used some of that material and the message traffic in September and October to solve for the unknown rotor wiring. Consequently, the Polish mathematicians were able to build their own Enigma machines, which were called Enigma doubles. Rejewski was aided by cryptanalysts Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski, both of whom had been recruited with Rejewski from Poznań University. The Polish Cipher Bureau developed techniques to defeat the plugboard and find all components of the daily key, which enabled the Cipher Bureau to read the German Enigma messages. Over time, the German cryptographic procedures improved, and the Cipher Bureau developed techniques and designed mechanical devices to continue reading the Enigma traffic. As part of that effort, the Poles exploited quirks of the rotors, compiled catalogues, built a cyclometer to help make a catalogue with 100,000 entries, made Zygalski sheets and built the electro-mechanical cryptologic bomb to search for rotor settings. In 1938, the Germans added complexity to the Enigma machines that finally became too expensive for the Poles to counter. The Poles had six bomby, but when the Germans added two more rotors, ten times as many bomby were needed, and the Poles did not have the resources.[3]
@aa-up4sf
I don't understand the British sometimes. After Turing and those guys he worked with cracked the code, they simply shut up shop, dismantled everything and told them they were never to see or speak to each other ever again. That sounds so incredibly totalitarian.
@malgorzatacicholaz4485
British in fact did not solve the enigma. It was handed over to them by the Poles. In fact, the "Enigma code was first broken by the Poles, under the leadership of mathematician Marian Rejewski, in the early 1930s. In 1939, with the growing likelihood of a German invasion, the Poles turned their information over to the British, who set up a secret code-breaking group known as Ultra, under mathematician Alan M". British themselves admitted in early 2000 that it would be impossible for British to solve enigma without Polish contribution ( they didn't go as far as telling that Poles did it, but we know otherwise). Movies are one thing; historical facts are the other. Since Poles were trapped behind the Iron Curtain, the British took all the credit for the enigma. The story of Marian Rejewski and his group of mathematicians is really fascinating, much more than a Bletchley Park story, in my opinion, because it shows the incredible dedication of a few men to solve the puzzle that lasted many years. If the movie was done to show real historical facts, I think everyone would be sitting at the edge of their chairs. I think you might be inspired reading the story of Marian Rejewski, if you have time....
@elonramsay2406
People are saying Hail poles for cracking enigma, Some are crediting Alan Turing for it... nice BUT WHAT ABOUT THE GERMAN SCIENTISTS THAT MADE THIS MASTERPIECE?
@Filip-kj7dc
You forgot about Polish who truly cracked the enigma
@lm1981
Polish scientist cracked the Enigma. It's a fact.
@Blade12311
Huh? Not even a single mention of us Poles and the 3 Polish men who broke the Enigma code? 🇵🇱 Did you guys even do your research???
@emmanuelraj...
@Agnieszka Lecka. Yes Without Polish mathematicians there will be no cracking of Enigma!
@hi78889
Alan Turning was such a bright man to be able to build something like that. The reason why he is praised so much is probably because he did not have a happy ending. The way he died was very cruel.
@glec9507
That is cool they made a physical encryption contraption, quite complex a system to create physically.
@keytengrant1013
I feel like they shouldn't have just focused on Welshman but everyone that worked.
@FifiRX
Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki oraz Henryk Zygalski złamali już kod enigmy przed wybuchem wojny ale to była Enigma w wersji komercyjnej ;)
@CzteroPakk
Polish scientists were first -.-
