Hello
I am very surprised after reading this article about Enigma. The authors cite the article of Gaj and Orlowski and the book of W. Kozaczuk, but there in the article is not written that polish mathematicians as first people in the world broke Enigma cipher ( I haven't found such sentence). There is only described their work, however without clear ascertaintion, that they broke this cipher. Only concerning Bletchley Park, the authors write about breaking the cipher of Enigma. The reader, who is not an expert in this matter may be desoriented.
I think it is not good.

sorry for direct language but the pole with wooden mockup enigam model is bs , no question. it comes from the time of around 1974 when Winterbothams "the ultra secret" book came out, archives were still secret and polish sources were ignored in the western world. that stuff should be deleted !
The first paragraph naturally needs a link to Cryptanalysis concept. Dimawik (talk) 02:57, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
Elizebeth Friedman broke some Enigma traffic to and from German agents in South America, largely by exploiting the Germans' habit of enciphering multiple messages with the same key. See her biography by Jason Fagone for much more detail.24.170.225.138 (talk) 12:25, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
