Saying that Turing broke the Enigma code reduces what really happened to a sound bite. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwtwo/enigma_01.shtml
Thank you!! I was wondering if anyone would catch this. The compromising of Enigma was due to Polish Mathematicians recreating a Enimgma, more or less, sight unseen. Still, the machine is useless without the code keys. Enigma, itself, was essentially unbreakable. It's the daily keys that were required. If Turning had accomplished such a feat, why did the RN go to incredible lengths to steal one and the key books? A brilliant man, but this is pure agenda hype.
