> […] and his working group's cracking of Germany's Enigma encryption system.
Enigma was already broken. AIUI, Turing et al helped automate the deciphering messages, which was heavy going manually because of the volumes involved.
Bletchley Park did have to do cryptanalysis on Enigma when a new rotor was added though.
Completely 'original' breaking did occur at Bletchley Park with (e.g.) the Lorenz cipher; see William "Bill" Tutte.
