Wikipedia article "Cryptanalysis of the Enigma" from your first link mentions also Turing's involvement.
- defrost 4y agoAbsolutely, he came in late stage and built upon the work done by the Polish mathematicians who reverse engineered and "cracked" the enigma encoding in addition to building the first generation bombes that mechanically automated decryption stages. I'm a fan of Turing's work, his crypto contributions, his work on the halting problem, his mercury delay line memory tubes, etc. I'm not a fan of stealing credit from the Poles that deserve it.
