How Breaking The Enigma Code Helped Decide World War 2 | Station X (Full Series) | All Out History

Winston Churchill has Bi-polar.
Many people with mental health illness, contribute and make us see , hear, read their beautiful works , at their expenses.. while we reap the reward of their works. Prs.Trump needs to be told.
Britney Spears, Catherine Zeta Jones - Oscar winner 🏆, Mark Twain, Emily Dickinson, Earnest Hemingway,....

Perhaps because I was always a complete nullity in Maths, I really wonder at how the human mind managed to break the Enigma code on the basis of mathematical and other calculations

UK didn’t decriminalize homosexuality until 1980! And yet, UK seems to have a very high homosexual population. Astounding!

Hut 33 is a hilarious comedy about Bletchley Park, well worth a listen.

Did world war two really end. I wonder. I think its just been continuously going on and the players change. Just like a circle of so called friends, there's always somebody else's turn to be picked on and now its America's.

Some people would say that the American War Industry was responsible for the Allied victory...that was true towards the end of the war. But at the beginning of the war (1941) when the German and Japanese codes were broken that helped turn the war in the Allies favour.

Interestingly, here in Ontario, Canada, we had Camp X. Ian Fleming was trained here.

dang how a bout the translations when they forced the sub to come to the top?//??? jeeez.........minute 50

The way British government treated this man is abominable, ungrateful, ugly. I read they apologized posthumously.

I suggest you watch the Documentary that Heddy Lamar was responsible for developing the scrambling. Because she was a Woman she didn’t get recognition.

Maybe it's just me but Ben Shapiro looks a lot like Turing. Wouldn't it be a weird irony if he's Turing reincarnated.

Polish jewish mathematicians did the donkey work ,not Turing... Its all stupid British chess thumping.. After WW2 we all became familiar with these nonsense fairytales , Brits inventing the jet engine or magnetron ...Bullshit..

I wonder what information was shared with the Russians e.g. before the battle of Kursk

The Polish were the first to break the enigma code !!

For what he done for us all. And how long it took for him to be s as knowledge more shame for powers at be..

This code breaking didn’t win the war. Red army did ! Brits never shared these codes with Soviet Union. British snobs kept it for themselves. You title is wrong.

Turing, one of the greatest minds on the last century.
Doomed by the narrow minds of his contemporaries.

Today the codes produced by Enigma would be decoded in a couple of minutes using modern cryptographic methods and a modern PC. Amazed me when I looked into it. In fact with the advent of quantum computing current cryptographic codes will be easily decoded. What to do?

THATS A MADE UP STORY THAT THE BRITISH "FOUND" A SEALED ENVELOPE ON AN ABANDONED SUB, THAT THEY BOARDED AND SEARCHED??.ETC., ETC. SOMEONE, A GERMAN DOUBLE SPY SOLD THE INFO TO THE UK.??? MADE A LOT OF MONEY!!!???

The barracks, or huts, as they were called, where the codebreakers worked were not heated. That is, except for some, which were said to hold valuable cargo.
Those were the huts where the Americans worked.

Any word about Polish decoders like Rejewski?!

This is the best documentary video I’ve seen in a long time. And that it’s two hours is even better.

Poles have an inferiority complex. Not my fault. I’ve never cared for Polish jokes

Any time a gay man does great things the homophobes come out of the woodwork to deny it. The most brilliant people are outliers and are men. Women are smarter on average but outliers are the smartest people. Gay men have different brains than straight men and are some of the smartest outliers. Steve Jobs knew this. Fact

Bletchley Park and the Enigma Code was such an importantly successful endeavor for the Allies. Just think of this one element missing and how much harder it would have been for total success in defeating Hitler. Besides, we saw the introduction of the modern electronic computer. Great learning. Enjoy. Thanks.

Commercials for every 7 minutes of program time?

The Enigma machine was available commercially in the inter-war years, but the version adopted by the German military contained significant improvements (and a pre-war Enigma wouldn't help you decode military traffic). True, the Poles were the first to break the militarized Enigma but frequent changes/improvements soon nullified their method. The changes/improvements continued throughout the war, but Bletchley was able to keep up (sometimes by fooling the Germans into transmitting specific messages, in other cases by capturing weather ships that were known to hold several months worth of coding documents). And some Enigma systems were never broken.

Visit Bletchley Park if you get the opportunity. I was able to visit this year. The main building that is always pictured is much smaller than you'd think--sort of Disney scale. But lots of Enigma machines on display as well as a working Bombe and of course Colossus (the first programmable electronic computer). This documentary (and most others) don't get into it nearly as much, but "Fish" (the code word for the teletypewriter encryption system ) was even more important than Enigma because Fish traffic was between high-ranking commanders and Berlin (including, sometimes, Hitler himself).

Britain was the world's leader in electronic computing at the end of the war, but Churchill ordered all Colossus machines used to decode Fish destroyed for security reasons. US companies like IBM and NCR then took up the slack...

In perspective, it achieved little because UK wasn't even predominant in the war. Russia and US took the lead in the war.
Also, thanks to the secrets of UK, US and Russia fought without knowing about the decode of Enigma.

As I understand it the people who worked in Station X were still bound by the Official Secrets Act more than 30 years after the war ended.

a documentary on who and how enigma is created would be wonderful. A fascinating documentary on once great event in history..

Why isn’t the German translated? We’re missing vital information.

Alan Turing was obviously a genius, but..... what about the guy who designed the machine that wrote the code ? The enigma machine was designed by German engineer Arthur Scherbius in 1918, was he also a genius ???

A great documentary and very absorbing. Very sad how Turing was treated after the war. Instead of being a hero he was victimized. Why didn't the hierarchy who were involved with Bletchley do anything to help him?

This talk that Britain & America won the war is BS. 8 out 10 Nazis combatants died on the Russian front. Definitely we US/UK helped, but the USSR broke the back of Hitlers army!

Or did they 'destroy' him because he knew far too many secrets, about the Government, civil servants, MP's and even the PM.
Alan must of learnt some interesting & dark things decoding all those intercepts & piecing together the wider jigsaw puzzle that is global geopolitical scheming, plotting & conspiracies!
Thoughts?

What is missing is the crucial work of Elizabeth Smith Friedman who developed a method of code breaking with her husband who worked for American Intelligence at the time. She found a flaw in the Enigma coded messages which led to the downfall of Hitler’s top SS man whose code name was SARGO. By breaking the Enigma code, she tracked SARGO to South American where he had set up a second team of spies. Broken for the second time, SARGO went underground and would never organize another spy system again. South America broke ties with Hitler and Japan and became an ally to Europe and American. Elizabeth Smith Friedman’s work was classified and sealed. Herbert Hoover took all credit by stamping all her team’s deciphered messages with the FBI seal. It wasn’t until 2008 when her file was declassified that the world found out the truth. Her work was groundbreaking and her methods still applied today. She is worth looking up!

A tortured man…..

I found out i was born in the same house as code breaker Sir Harry Hinsley.

Gosh how brilliant are the British. They invented the modern computer as we know it today. Brilliant.

RIP Alan Turing .

Not only did the Poles not get credit for breaking the code they they got little credit for being the best piloted fighters in the RAF during the Battle of Britain their squadron downing the most plains and engaging the enemy in close combat

That was the darkest happen they persecute a gay man like alan turing

If they kept breaking the Soviet codes in the Cold War why would they destroy Bletchley Park's papers and records.

They couldn't get a shot of DC b roll without a jet liner flying thru?🙄😅

I agree with the following correction, about Polish people breaking the code first. There were several,AIAIK, several german codes

Flower (Collosus), Welchman, Tiltman, Newman, Tutte (and the Poles) all had remarkable minds and huge impacts. It is odd Turing gets so much credit and not the others.

Bletchley Park created a more advanced machine which was based on a Polish invention called "bomba" and a Polish system/machine which included only few "bomba's. These initial inventions were fundamental.

Great story of Station X Intell, helping to save many lives.◆◇◆

Dont forget irishman richard hayes.broke codes the brits and the Americans couldn't including Bletchley park

😮
