Most of Poland’s groundbreaking achievements in code-breaking during the World War II were made possible by the work of mathematicians working at the Polish Cipher Bureau.Īn establishment similar to Britain’s Bletchley Park, which became the centre of the Allies’ code-breaking efforts during the same war, the Polish Cipher Bureau (Biuro Szyfrów) was established as a cryptography and cryptanalysis institution almost two decades earlier. The Polish Cipher Bureau predated Bletchley Park The exhibition tells the story of these Polish mathematicians and cryptologists, which it describes as “forgotten”, but imperative to decoding Enigma, an achievement many historians believe greatly contributed to allied efforts against Nazi Germany and shortening the war. While Britain’s Alan Turing has in large part been credited for cracking the Enigma code, employed extensively by Nazi Germany during World War II, in all branches of the military, his success would have been impossible without the contribution of a number of Polish thinkers.
