Dermot-TuringM. RejewskiThe British cryptanalysts were indebted to the pioneering efforts of the Polish code-breaking team, including in particular Marian Rejewski, for their work on the Enigma codes before the outbreak of World War 2. The help which they provided the British team was invaluable in enabling the British, including Alan Turing, to make early progress on Enigma codes and, through their success, to influence the course and duration of the war.

(George Bush)

Cracking of the German Enigma Code was the most important weapon against Hilter and his armies. (Winston Churchill)
