WWII: The Code Breakers

The code breakers played a crucial role in the Allied victory by deciphering enemy communications, enabling the Allies to anticipate Axis movements and disrupt their plans.

Three of the most significant figures were: - Alan Turing (British) — A leading codebreaker at Bletchley Park. - Elizabeth Smith Friedman (American) — A pioneering cryptanalyst, she dismantled Nazi espionage networks in the Western Hemisphere. - Marian Rejewski (Polish) — A mathematician who first broke Enigma in the 1930s using innovative mathematical techniques.
