Title: Polish Enigma Codebreakers
Post by: Scherf on July 04, 2014, 10:11:31 PM

Back in the heady days of my youth, I once did an essay for a history prof at Uni. Got a good mark, but his comments were that I had not given enough credit to the initial work done by Polish codebreakers. As his specialty was Enigma and the Ultra secret, he would have known.

The BBC website has an article today which illustrates some of the bits I overlooked.

Lol, was hoping for a good Polish Enigma code breaker joke. Hey, I am 50% Polish and allowed to ask for one.

What could you joke about?   If there was a faceplate emoticon, you would get it and I am part Polish myself.  

Scherf, I thank you for posting that good read.
