Abstract
Alan Turing and Bletchley Park are rightly recognized for their work on breaking the Enigma code. However, this was built on a foundation of work during the 1930s by the Polish cryptographer, Marian Rejewski. Often working alone, and with limited resources, he found ways to break early Enigma code. This article attempts to highlight the man and his invaluable contribution.
