What Mr Lilenthal fails to realise is that the Polish methods were ineffectual after December 1938. The mathematics and design of the Turing-Welchman bombes were completely different from the mathematics and design of the Polish bombas. However the Poles showed the British that the Enigma machines were not impregnable and of course gave the British a copy of the early German military machine, which demonstrating the simplicity of the wiring of the steckerbord, accelerated the British understanding of the Enigma machines.M JC Brownnoreply@blogger.com
