Enigma Codebreakers

Poland Breaks the Enigma- Unbreakable German Nazi Code Machine in 1932. "Before Poland fell - said George Bush while addressing his huge audience in Gdansk in August 1989, on the eve of the 50-th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II - you gave the Allies Enigma the German Nazi's secret coding machine. Breaking the unbreakable Axis code saves tens of thousand Allied lives, American lives; and for this, you have the enduring gratitude of the American people. And ultimately, Enigma and freedom fighters played a major role in the winning the Second World War".
President George Bush's Remarks at the Solidarity Workers Monument in Gdansk July 11, 1989, where he mentioned the Polish contribution to the Victory in giving to the Allies the Enigma Cipher Machine solution.
On July 25, 1939, before the war began, the Polish intelligence (Section 2 of the General Staff) provided Great Britain and France with one copy each (with necessary documents) of the German coding machine "Enigma" that allowed to read the secret German messages. A team of Polish cryptologists was evacuated to France, later on to England, where a special center for monitoring and decoding was organized in Bletchley Park. The Polish "Enigma" played a significant role, especially during the Battle of Britain, Battle of the Atlantic and the invasion of the continent in 1944. Other Polish scientists and technicians evacuated to England have to be mentioned as well. The electronics specialists helped with creating the submarine detection system (HFDF -- High Frequency Direction Finding). The Polish engineers constructed the reversible tank periscope and an anti-aircraft cannon, with tens of thousands of which the British troops were equipped.
Henryk Zygalski, Jerzy Rozycki and Marian Rejewski, the Polish team of mathematicians who first had success against the Enigma machine. David Kahn, Seizing the ENIGMA.
Historian David Kahn writes, "was Rejewski's own stunning achievement, one that elevates him to the pantheon of the greatest cryptanalysts of all time". Rejewski used a mathematical theorem that one mathematics professor has since described as "the theorem that won World War II".
BREAKS THE ENIGMA CODE MACHINE (ULTRA) was the greatest secret of World War II after the atom bomb. With the exception of knowledge about that weapon and the probable exception of the time and place of major operations, such as the Normandy invasion, no information was held more tightly .... The security implies ULTRA's significance. ULTRA furnished intelligence better than any in the whole long history of humankind. It was more precise, more trustworthy, more voluminous, more continuous, longer lasting, and available faster, at a higher level, and from more commands than any other form of intelligence - spies or scouts or aerial reconnaissance or prisoner interrogations .... It may be concluded that BREAKS THE ENIGMA CODE (ULTRA) saved the world two years of war, billions of dollars, and millions of lives.
Poland suffered greatly under German occupation. Six million Poles, from a population of 35 million, became casualties. Among the dead was Jerzy Rozycki, the youngest member of the Enigma code-breakers.

A Tribute to Brave people who deserve a special place in History! 5*+++

[skalskipilot]

Thanks for watching movie and comment. They're Brave people, talented. Brilliant Boys. Thanks.

już się do tego przyznali anglicy że to My Polacy odszyfrowaliśmy enigme. My Polacy jesteśmy bardzo mądrym narodem i dużo wymyśliliśmy rzeczy ale u nas nie ma na to pieniędzy. Dlatego nasi naukowcy są opłacani zagranicą i wymyślają za krajem i wtedy to nie jest Polskie:(

yet another documentary on channel 4: Britain's Greatest Codebreaker

about Alan Turing no doubt genius mathematician but according to British historians or at least movie producers Alan Turing built "The Bomb" machine and broke Enigma code which is basically not true and the worst of all is the fact that there is no mention about the real Enigma code barkers not even a word about Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski... we are the witness of history in the making...new history

@jonnybottle No no... Once is enough for Us. Never again.

Yes, and after all of this the Poles were betrayed by the Brits. When Warsaw uprising begun Churchill didn't give a damn about the people that were dying in there and made no pressure upon Stalin to help them. Poland was just left to the Soviets almost as the sacrifice of Polish soldiers in Monte Cassino, Tobruk, battle of Britain, Narwik, Normandy, Falaise battle and many more never happened.

[jonnybottle]

I hope you know that many British like me will always be grateful for what Polish codebreakers and pilots did to defend Britian and save allied lives.

[jonnybottle]

I hope you know that many British are extremely grateful for what the Polish codebreakers and pilots did for Britain.

Repeat please!
