The Polish Cipher Bureau deserves the credit from breaking the Enigma codes.

In December 1932, the Polish Cipher Bureau first broke Germany's War II, on 25 July 1939, in Warsaw, they presented their Enigma-
decryption techniques and equipment to French and British
military intelligence.[3][4] Thanks to this,[5] during the war, Allied
codebreakers were able to decrypt a vast number of
messages that had been enciphered using the Enigma.
The intelligence gleaned from this source, codenamed "Ultra"
by the British, was a substantial aid to the Allied war effort.[6]
