Victor, I saw a great film about the German enigma machine but it was butchered by Hollywood. U-571, a WW2 action submarine movie staring Matthew McConaughey and Harvey Keitel in which the heros in the sub are Americans. The real story is that is was an English sub/crew that were the heros of the enigma machine capture from the Germans. No snoozing on this one...Mark Korda......and That's Hollywood... (Tom Bosley).

As often is the case, the real story is far more interesting, but less impressive on the big screen, so they always reach for some cheap embellishments. Me, I would rather take it raw. The documentary called Codebreaker is such raw dish. No syrup there. More truth about the work of the Poles, in particular.
