Best Answer

The individual most responsible is probably the English mathematician Alan Turing. But without the early Enigma machine captured by French and polish spies it may not have been possible to build the machines necessary to complete the effort.

An early Enigma was reconstructed by the Polish General Staff's Cipher Bureau in December 1932-with the aid of French-supplied intelligence material that had been obtained from a German spy. Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, the Polish Cipher Bureau initiated the French and British into its Enigma-breaking techniques and technology at a conference held in Warsaw.

Who worked Bletchley Park-ww2?

Bletchley Park was a top secret code breaking facility during World War II. The people working there were top mathematicians and computer pioneers who were able to break the 'unbreakable' German Enigma Code thereby shortening the war and saving many lives. Because of the total secrecy at the facility, most of the early computers which were developed there were destroyed at the end of the war including the Enigma code breaker.

Where did the code breaking happen for the Enigma machine?

Polish cryptanalysts working in Warsaw, Poland first broke the German Army Enigma and built a simple electromechanical Bombe machine in spring of 1939. However when the Germans invaded on September 1, 1939 they had to flee Poland. Initially going to France, but when France was invaded in 1940 the Polish cryptanalysts went to England. There they became part of the team at Bletchley Park. The British team at Bletchley Park had been stymied by Enigma until the Poles arrived, bringing with them a stolen German Army Enigma machine (which answered several questions the British had). Bletchley Park eventually designed larger more advanced and powerful Bombe machines which they used throughout the war to read Enigma messages. Several times the Germans made improvements to the Enigma (especially the Navy Enigma) forcing the British to have to break the cypher again, sometimes even involving capturing another Enigma machine to see what those changes were. The most difficult change to break was the addition of a 4th rotor to the Navy Enigma, which could only be handled by the addition of a high speed vacuum tube electronic box to the side of the electromechanical Bombe machine.

Which is stronger a long rope or short rope?

Technically it doesn't matter. The length of a rope has no impact upon its breaking point and its strength. How the rope is anchored and any knots used is most important and usually will be responsible for the breaking point.
