Actually, the POlish scientists broke the first engima codes. However the Nazis made the Enigma machine more sophisticated, so the Poles couldn’t break the codes. It was then they gave the captured enigma machine to the British. The computer genius Alan Turing developed new methods and the first computer systems to crack new codes, without whom, the war would have lasted another seven years.
Yes indeed Marin broke the first code (Poland siezed the Engima machine) which was their big achievment. The codes increased in diffiuclty, its then, the Poles asked the British for help. Alan Turing was the first computer pioneer for code-breaking technology.
