Without wanting to take anything away from Marcia Williams, Alan Turing or any of the 10,000 code-breakers working on the Enigma code during the Second World War, it is essential and only fair that the following supplementary information is also taken into consideration.
The Enigma code was first deciphered and broken in the early 1930s by cryptanalysts from Poland who, in July 1939, realizing the looming danger of impending war with Adolf Hitler, shared their knowledge with the French and British intelligence services.
In 2002, British authorities unveiled a monument in Bletchley Park commemorating the three Polish cryptographers who decoded Enigma.
