The Forgotten Spies Who Cracked Enigma Before the War Started

Before Alan Turing and Bletchley Park, three young mathematicians in Poland changed the course of World War II. While the story of the Enigma machine often focuses on British efforts, the foundational work was done seven years earlier in Warsaw. This video explores how Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski, and Jerzy Różycki used advanced mathematics to defeat the German cipher machine when everyone else said it was impossible. Discover the secret meeting in the Pyry Forest, the role of a German spy named Hans-Thilo Schmidt, and the incredible invention of the "Bomba" that paved the way for the Allied victory. We also look at the bittersweet legacy of these men who, despite their contributions, were often forgotten by history.
