Enigma- How the Poles Broke the Nazi Code

,Battery Press, 1984
16 page b/w photo insert. (200 pages, Hardcover, 5?" x 8?")....$22.50
Poland did what no other county had done - and what the Germans considered
impossible. They deserve thanks for the great Polish solution that
saved so many lives and did so much good for the world." - David
Kahn, author of Seizing the Enigma. In 1933, three Polish mathematicians
led by Marian Rejewski succeeded in breaking the German Enigma cipher,
which the Germans considered unbreakable. 1939, just before the outbreak
of the war, the Poles shared their knowledge with French and British
intelligence services. This led to the powerful British decoding operation
at Bletchley Park, which supplied vital intelligence known as Ultra
to the Allied forces. Yet, only recently have the Polish code breakers
received international recognition. This text offers a concise, up-to-date
history of the Enigma decryption in Poland and the use of this achievement
in Poland and England.
