      And no mention of the Swedes! We, the Swedes, in my opinion, had the most impressive way of cracking the enigma. 1 man, a pen, a paper, a desk...And 2 weeks. No advanced computerized systems ere used. He just sat there, only leaving his work places to eat or sleep, for 2 weeks with a pen and paper and single handedly cracking the Enigma AND the T52 (stationary and more advanced type of code encrypting machine used as main encryptor by Germany). All of this happened in 1940. One year before Alan Turing and his team of hundreds of people just barely managed to break the codes with their super computer.

    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.

      Enigme, a few years before the outbreak of World War II, was broken by three Poles: Zygalski, Rejewski and Różycki! They built the world's first decryption machine called Crypto Bomb! The name bomb came from the fact that it ticked like a time bomb! IT WAS IN 1932! Just before the war, the Poles passed the secret of decryption to the French and the English. The latter have appropriated the success of the Poles and declare that it was Toring who broke Enigma in 1940! Hahaha! Turing got everything on a plate to substitute the received messages.

      @@jankesjankeski9378 This is a little disingenuous. While these 3 Polish mathematicians paved the way for the eventual Bombe machine made by Turing and Welchman, there is a reason they had to seek help from the British and French: the Germans were updating Enigma's encryption too much for the Polish Bomba machines to actually keep up with, with enhancements such as being able to choose 3 out of 5 total available rotors. Both the initial efforts of the Polish and the continued efforts of the British contributed to cracking Enigma and its later models.

    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]

      Actually there was method. The British were bankrupt after World War 2 - indeed they did not pay of the war debt till 2006, so they could not afford the same size of operation. The second part was that they gave the "Unbreakable" Enigma machines away, many of which were in use until the late 1960's and some into the late 1970's. Of course no one could read Enigma as it was never broken, so these machines were secure, and by making sure no one ever knew what had happened, there was a direct route into the worlds crypto traffic.

    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....

They were absolute ignorants - and in the meantime their problems were solved by Marian Rejewski in 1932. The Poles were six to seven years ahead of the British and if it were not for the fact that in July 1939 they made their arrangements available, the United Kingdom would enter the war in a state of absolute ignorance, Turing emphasized.

    Turing and his teams stood on the shoulders of Rejewski and his colleagues who cracked Enigma and built a replica by the early 30s.
    Could the British have cracked Enigma independently? Probably, but it would have taken longer at the very least.
    Could the Poles have continued to adapt to continuously added complexity and process improvements, especially after 1939? Probably, but they didn't have the same resources or manpower, and Poland was overrun by fascists.
    The final outcome, which allowed the Allies to read most encrypted traffic from all three arms of the Werhmacht by 1942, saved countless lives and couldn't have happened without both parties, so they should be honoured equally.
    Seeing how the British honoured Turing though, perhaps Rejewski and co. would prefer to remain anonymous...

      bananian - same way but without the flaw in Enigma. Essentially the Germans never coded their messages so that a letter could still be itself. So A was never A. By removing that flaw it became impossible for the Germans to decipher the code. Even the Germans admitted it was a better way.

      @@emmap4339 The ally forces did what the enigma did, but the way the germans encrypted messages made it so that a letter could not be itself. I’m not so sure, but if you brute force attack the encryption, eventually certain letters single themselves out by process of elimination because they never showed up in that spot. So if you make so a letter can be it self it makes it much harder to decrypt because it does not single out a specific combination of characters. I’m no enigma expert tho so I might be wrong.

      Charles Francis There was the Polish Bomba machine and there was the English Bombe, which derived from the first one. It had nothing to do with any sort of a computer. Not in a slightest sense. There was the three rotor model and then the five rotor model released shortly before the WW II. The three rotor machine was broken by the Polish General Staff's Cipher Bureau in December 1932-with the aid of French-supplied intelligence material that had been obtained from a German spy. The five rotor model wasn't broken, because Poland was then invaded. Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, the Polish Cipher Bureau initiated the French and British into its Enigma-breaking techniques and technology at a conference held in Warsaw. The rest was a piece of cake. Without the Polish achievement we probably would be speaking German today. No doubt about it. These are the facts, which the megalomaniac and jealous English are not able to swallow.
