- jgrahamc 13y agoTrue, but this story has nothing to do with Engima.
- willvarfar 13y agoCan you please clarify what you mean?
- ColinWright 13y agoThe story about Bill Tutte has nothing to do with Enigma. Yes, Bill Tutte worked at Bletchley, and so did the code breakers who worked on Enigma. But Tutte worked on Lorenz, and this story is about Tutte and his work, and hence this story is not about Enigma.
- hetman 13y agoNot entirely. The article does make some inaccurate claims about the cracking of the Enigma.
- munin 13y agowhile not Enigma related, Marian Rejewski and his colleagues, if I remember right, reconstructed physical Enigma (pre-war, 3 wheel) machines only from analysis of encrypted traffic, beating the French and English mathematicians working on the "enigma problem". it was pretty big and IMO comparable to Tuttes successes with Lorenz, it's annoying that history forgets Rejewski and his contributions so quickly.
- hetman 13y agoMore accurately, the British and French had not managed to make any progress decrypting the Enigma until the work of Rajewski and the Biuro Szyfrów was handed over to them due to the shifting political situation.
