I'll make a museum once I take over the country again.

We want to make sure that all people get the recognition that they deserve!

And be given pittances too, especially from the Russians.

@@TheFront Can you make vid on Polish spy claiming planns of Atlantic wall or Polish partisans stealing and sending v missile back to Britian?

ABSOLUTELY!! I am 66 years-old and had no clue that the Poles won the war for the allies. Squadron 302 and 303 also made a great contribution toward victory by Britain in the Battle of Britain.

Our pleasure!

It's in the blood. We where always stuck between 2 great powers, invaded from time to time, from left and right. When that happens You develop stubbornes to whoever comes at You. I'm speaking as great grandson of cavalry partisan.

It's weird. You search youtube for "enigma bomba polska" or anything like it and there's not a lot of (high quality) videos on the topic. Luckily this video was exactly what i was looking for, a very clear, very well presented summary of what they had achieved. I'm from Germany. My father even was a soldier in the Wehrmacht back then. But obviously I'm just super impressed by what the polish accomplished and how little credit these brave people get. Though it's not like turing had an awesome life either. He made big contributions to the war effort against the nazis as well and as thanks they treated him like a degenerate for being gay until he took his life at 41.

This was made for securing the family of the genius polish mathematicians

Turing wouldn't be even invited if not for the Poles. Prior to that the Brits had never thought of asking a mathematician for help.

Thank you ❤

Cool.

Poland kicked arse in the air, on land, at sea, and underground. 💪🇵🇱

Not just an opinion but a fact. Poland had the 4th largest army on the allied side throughout the war.

I mean without poland ww2 wouldnt have started....

@@aaroncousins4750 because Poland was the first to fight back instead of rolling over like other nations

@@56Tyskie Their anthem is literally, "Poland Is Not Yet Lost"

THANK YOU, Poland, for helping to rid the world of Nazism.

It began before the Iron Curtain. Poland, despite its huge involvement on most fronts, was not represented in the 1946 Allied Victory Parade in London, not to upset Uncle Joe, the lucky one of two genocidic monsters of WW2...

The Russians were one of the Allies.

Idiots got lucky

​@@georgeboehringer5530Your parents got unlucky

Ha ha no, because they good at maths and intelligent :-)

From my understanding, it was blown up by the Germany military during the war, not so much as demolished!

They better not muck up the building with political BS, though, especially when it comes to the suspected Holocaust denials.

@@michaelandreipalon359 you are suspected of ignorance full of media bs

@@michaelandreipalon359 every child in polish school learns about holocaust in history, literature, ethics, geography AND culture lessons. trips to auchwitz in some schools are MANDATORY. If anything we low key hated holocaust for being mentioned over and over and over and over every fucking year all the time and that has not changed. Poland has many issues and problems and our government does a lot of fucked up shit but holocaust denial is not one of them. They are too proud of the polish military and clergy involvement in dismantling it to ever deny it. Stop believing whatever you hear on opinion nights in CNN

@@TheFront Rapid exothermic deconstruction is still deconstruction :P

That is really flattering! Especially considering how much content there is out there on Enigma!

Lol

...So, what was in that suitcase in Pulp Fiction?

Never trust an Englishman with history.

The first that is. The British did do some wonderful things breaking advanced enigma codes using the first digital computers created in large part by Allen Turing, but you are right mostly. The Poles were the first and the British owed a lot to them.

@@arrow1414 the code breaking is the least they owe us for, we spent the war defending the isles and at the end they discarded us like trash, they also made us pay to use their equipment

@@MyMika2004 Churchill did not want to leave the Poles under the Soviets, he had to do what Roosevelt wanted, who thought he could handle "Uncle Joe"

@@MyMika2004 gave you 400k citizenships, the largest amount in world history for any country… and you think they should’ve instead invaded the USSR lmaooo

Glad you like them!

The polish contribution to the defeat of the nazis was about 0.01% and zero against the japs.

And then Joe Desch and others at NCR in Dayton Ohio took it to a truly EPIC speed and scale -- including handling the 4-rotor Naval Enigma in a crucial phase later in the war that was causing the Brits huge headaches.

There is a story about some morse (‽) code operater on a sub that committed some major infraction like trasmitting something in the clear. And so, in an attempt to hide him, he was forced to send all subsequent messages w his left hand.

What the movie 'The Imitation Game' and this video fails to mention is that whilst the Poles were the first to crack Enigma, there were several incidents that enabled Bletchley to continue to break the code. The Kriegsmarine code was the most important as it told the Allies where the U-Boats were. Unfortunately the Kriegsmarine were also changing their machines more often to prevent disclosures. Enigma machines were captured by the Royal Navy more than once when they sank U-Boats and this enabled Bletchley to have a helping hand to see how the machines had been altered. The Americans also had a big hand in unlocking the code as Britain built only a few Bombe machines and these were operating round the clock, but the Americans built over 150 and Britain was sending the Americans the intercepts down the Atlantic cables, so the Americans could use their Bombe to crack the codes and then send the results back to Bletchley. Turing and the other codebrealers spent most of their time trying to discover how the Germans were upgrading the machines so they could devise new ways of cracking them.

It definitely was not a one-country job!

I’m pleased to say all the British histories I have read acknowledge the groundbreaking work of the Poles. The “bombe “ and the handing over of an Enigma machine and associated documents are well known. The French input and the German agent is new to me though. Also, not in the least bit surprised that The Polish decryption team wouldn’t talk! Learning point: great minds from many countries working together can save the world.

That is because the English don't let facts get in the way of writing their own history. Everyone on earth thinks that Waterloo was a British victory, but only 20 % of the soldiers were British. The Propaganda began just after the battle when Wellington insisted that the battlefield be called by the English sounding name 'Waterloo'. I think Churchhill described this English habit the best: 'History will be kind to me for I intend to write it'.

Similar to 303 squadron, I remember 35 years ago a truck painted with 303 pieces and claiming 141 kills, down from the original 200+ during the battle, then reduced to 126, now thought to be 58.8, of which 38.8 kills were by poles. Ignorance is indeed bliss for some.

Always a joy seeing your comments!

Sorry, overcredited

yes, absolutely it was a multiple contribution. But what you can't "over-credit" Turing for is the whole new level of decoding, on an industrial scale level with the development of his machine and his contribution to computation theory/ai/modern computer science.

@@gooner_duke2756 but also if not poles he probabbly would achieve nothing, so yea

@@potato8606 but without Turing, it would be inviduals sat at their desks trying to decipher the code ! Can you imagine !? Turing's contribution was huge. Yes, the work already done by the Polish mathematicians obviously cut a lot of time out and layed the foundations. Like I said it was a multiple contribution. But you cannot underestimate Turing's achievement either.

@@gooner_duke2756 I didnt say that he did nothing, i just meant that people always talk about Turing and forget about polish contrivution

James Potter!

@@TheFront Yes! Next episode will be on the Wizarding wars lmao

Rise up!

It's got a lot of white heterosexual men and women bro.

Yankees literally did nothing to break the enigma. What film did you watch if i may ask?
