Lubię Twoǰą dociekliwość Rob. ..robisz świetną robotę w odkłamywaniu historii..👍

Yes, the Germans mistakenly sent an enigma cipher machine to Poland, but it was a simplified version intended for the civilian market for banking. The military enigma was more complicated but similarly constructed.

Hi Rob , you need to visit Enigma Museum in Poznan next time you will be in Poland. You will enjoy. Just make you have at least 3-4 hours. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

It’s because of the marketing. Hollywood movies and British movies only make themselves look good and give themselves credit.
@aniaania3952
Rob, I recommend you read the biography of Krystyna Skarbek. She came from Poland and cooperated with British intelligence during the war. It is interesting that the author of James Bond was inspired by her biography.She was the model for creating one of the female characters in his book. It's a really interesting biography. Although she died after the war tragically and... in stupid circumstances.

Minęło prawie 100 lat i historia znowu się powtarza. Jak się słucha obecnych polityków co mówią i jak się zachowują to wygląda to dokładnie tak samo jak 100 lat temu. Świat znowu zrobił się groźny.

Bob, they got the proper settings at the receiver side. these are called codebooks. Edit. Boguslaw Woloszanski. One of the best European historian. Fucking legend.
@MonikaMazgola
Bogusław Wołoszański and his history TV programs are very famous. Thanks you noticed its quality. And all these actors are quite known in Poland.

Rob thank you again for your contribution in promote polishi history and interesting stories!!! I am so glad for you!:) I would like to say my opinion about - what we should call SS people: "Nazis" or "Germans": For people from other countries, maybe there is no big difference between a German and a Nazi. However, few people understand the history of our country, that we were under partitions and occupation in long period of time - by neighbour nations who wanted our nation to not exist! And few people understand how a True Pole feels - proud of their history and the fact that our ancestors and great heroes shed blood so that we could return to the world maps and be Poles at all! History is history, but it's more about the fact that so far, for so many years since the end, Poland has been totally destroyed and stolen during the wars, and so far they have never given us even 1PLN in reparations or stolen Polish works of art! (The official version is communistic sounds ofcourse that - the Polish government renounced it - but everyone knows that it was even not polish government but a treacherous, communist government managed from Moscow! Because logically - which normal government would renounce billions in compensation??!!! And as for the Germans - they are constantly trying to manage and have influence on our country through treacherous, bribed "Polish" politicians...

Hi Rob, 19:36 Idk if you noticed - He predicted that his body would not be found
@piotrkulikowski3240
There is an excellent book by Alan Turing's grandson about the enigma - XYZ. It shows the key to success- cooperation of Poles , French and English ( Without the USA). Their success is a message for us for these crazy times.

was pretty cool to watch it with you :)

To explain precisely how Enigma worked: You had a set of multiple rotors, each one with a set of connectors on both sides, corresponding to 26 letters of the alphabet. Each rotor connected different letters together: For example, in one rotor, A would be connected to G, J to O, T to M, and so on. When you pressed the A key, an electrical signal would go into the A position of the rotor, and - in the example I used - would come out of the G position, lighting up the "G" lamp on top of the machine. Now, add a second rotor, with a different set of connections. Here, A is connected to T, J to F, T to L. Let's say, the letter G is connected to the P output. Now, when you press the A key, the electrical signal goes into the first rotor A->G, then into the second rotor, G->P, and light up the P letter on the board. Now, add the third rotor, P->N, and you have the Army Enigma machine. The thing was, when you would press the N key, the signal would get reversed - [N] -> N->P, P->G, G->A -> (A). On this level, this is a simple substitution cipher, though, with A always getting replaced with N, just with extra steps. This is where the difficulty came in. All that I described, only worked in the nominal position of the rotors (A-A-A). When you pressed a key - any key - a mechanism would turn the first rotor, switching its position to B (A-A-B). NOW, when you pressed the A key, the signal would go not into the A position on the first rotor... but into the B position, creating an entirely new substitution chain [A] -> B->U, U->M, M->L -> (L). You press A twice, but instead of getting NN, you get NL. This would continue (A-A-A)->(A-A-B)->(A-A-C)->(A-A-D), and so on, until (A-A-Z), at which point, the next press of the key would turn both the first and second rotors (A-B-A), and the cycle would start again (A-B-A)->(A-B-B)->(A-B-C)->(A-B-D). In the end you had 26x26x26 = 17,576 possible starting combinations across three rotors. The idea was that, in any given position, the input and output could be substituted - so when rotors were in the (B-U-A) position, A would ALWAYS be substituted by K, and K would ALWAYS be substituted by A... But you needed to know which of the 17k combinations you have to set at the start. And then you had the fourth rotor position (456,976 combinations), and the rotors could get replaced and exchanged - you had more than four rotors included in the set, and you could place any of them into any of the four positions interchangeably. The key was, if I remember correctly, that the army was sending weather reports with a simpler cipher, and within that cipher was an information which rotors were to be used, and in which position (2U-6S-4P, for example) - at which point, the machine would do all the work for you. You just needed to know what was the starting position of those rotors. Navy, on the other hand, wasn't sending that information through radio, but rather they had printed scheduled codebooks, I believe, so each time they visited the harbour, they would get a new set of codes for the following month, let's say. Also, navy Enigma had those substitution plugs, which created an additional level of complexity: [A] -> (A->G), (G->P), (P->N) - (N <-> U) - (U->L), (L->O), (O->J) -> (J) I remember, quite a few years ago, there was this flash Enigma simulator that not only simulated the way Enigma worked, but also showed the path an electrical signal would take across different rotors... Not sure if you could still find it on the internet, but I remember it did a phenomenal job of explaining the mechanics behind the Enigma.

The recipient of the message had the machine settings in the upper corner that they had to use to correctly read the message. Of course, the settings were also given in a form that was hard to read for a random person, and without Enigma, its settings were of no use.
@ireneuszpyrak961
For Poles, Mr. Wołoszański's films are classics about World War II. They are really great, as you have noticed. They also show these events from a Polish perspective, which may be something completely unknown to the Brit ❤

I cały świat uważa że enigme rozszyfrowali Anglicy zwłaszcza patrzac na filmy kręcone przez Anglie o tej tematyce astatnia z 2014 r gra tajemnic gdzie bez owijania w bawełnę wskazują ze to Anglia rozszyfrowali enigme Polska pozdrawia i dziękuję za tak beszczelne oszukiwanie całego świata
@blubrydarka2028
In Poznań is located exhibition about enigma
@michak4576
and entire world think British broke Enigma. greetings from Poland :)
