Bletchley Park is well worth a visit for some codebreaking + early computing. ~45 minute train journey from Euston.

Is this the "perfectly accurate" which is also hideously biased, or the "perfectly accurate" which just happens to be pure original research?

. Well, not really. As a couple of examples, Banburismus and many of the techniques used against the German teletype ciphers were novel applications of maths to cryptanalysis developed at Bletchley.

A Polish patriotic myth, I'm afraid. While you're correct to say that Enigma was broken by the Polish, it was *also* broken by the British.

Enigma wasn't an egg: one broken, always broken. On the contrary, you had to find the keys every time they changed, which was at least daily. Worse, the Germans upgraded Enigma with a series of security features between 1932 and 1945 that severely complicated cryptanalysis. By mid-1940, the Polish techniques were obsolete, and so the British invented new ones.

All that's just a long way of saying that there's plenty of glory to go around.
