RE: The most famous Field Cipher: ADfGVX - And its important Role during WWI
Your article have a kind of a mistake in the first lines. It is a known thing that Turing 'worked' on Enigma, but most people does not know, that in fact, Enigma was cracked thanks to the group of polish mathematicians. Without them, the story might have never exist.
Thanks for the hint radoslaw,
I will add this to the article since they deserve the respect for their work.
The early code was broken, that's where Turig "knew" how the machine worked (besides the fact of having one in posession).
They also told him how to build an electromechanichal device that could cycle settings.
But, giving them the credit for building the machine that decoded enigma messages in "no time". Is like giving a marble miner the credit for Michelangelo's "David".
he is right, the polish guys broke enigma
Nice info
