Fun Fact: The cracking of the enigma machine was so successful that Bletchley Park had to 'pick and choose' which information they would follow up on so as not to make it obvious that the codes had been cracked. essentially they had to allow the Germans to make attacks against the allies knowing they could have prevented it, but in the long run it saved countless more lives,

[@MrMarinus18]

Not really. It wasn't that it was so common but because they needed to have an excuse. It should always be possible for the British to have gotten the information elsewhere. If they made it clear they knew things that they should never know would make the Germans suspicious.

@@jammo6645 Yeah... And that war declaration... Did almost nothing - Poland was still by itself during over a month of battle, at the start of the war. French - almost the same. Why did Hitler attack Poland frist? He suspected that the British and French won't join the fight, but if he attacked France first - Poland would strike from the east immediately, because of the alliance. And the enigma - only Poles were successful in decoding it, giving all their results, and copies of the actual enigma machines, to the British and French, just before the start of the war. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis_of_the_Enigma#Polish_breakthroughs

Juan Pujol García deserves a mini series himself. The man was insane and yet such a pivotal character in world history.

[@CristianFT86]

Absolutely. But why is he portrayed as "a Catalan"?

[@scareye2772]

CristianFT86 He is called Catalan, maybe because he was born in Catalonia? As far as I know, it's a real place.

[@CristianFT86]

Who said It wasn't a real place? Im pointing out the fact that there was not a single region after the Civil War in the whole country with the privilege of being treated as a Nation other than Spain itself. Portray Juan Pujol García as "a Catalan" is, to all intents and purposes, historically inaccurate. That's how it was and how it is now, wether you like it or not and, trust me, I don't like it either.

[@DarkGiratina96]

It's historically accurate. There's no need to use just the country to identify someone's place of origin. If they can be more precise by saying the region I don't get why they shouldn't. And besides, from what I heard, it might me a country in a few months so it's not really that weird to specify if there's already conflict over that.

[@greatalexander3820]

it is a bit awkward to mention someones regional birthplace, if you want to be specific use their hometown and if you want to be broad use their nation. Of course that is only relevant if the regions do not have special political status (like the American states do) and Catalonia did not have any political status.

There are plenty of movies about these things. The Imitation Game for example was about the Egima and Patton movie dealt with the Germans thinking he was going to lead the attack for example.

[@joshcorbett4787]

Cheshire1501 what about the imitation game. It's about the British cracking the enigma machine

[@dernwine]

Which part? The Longest Day is a good movie about the invasion day from the sides of most of the nations taking part (including the germans). ...as for the cloak and dagger stuff...um.... the new dads army movie maybe? There was also that abomination of an American movie that claimed the US navy stole the enigma machine....

If you mean the disinformation campaign not sure how much of a movie you could do. It's interesting as history but visually it'd just be a whole bunch of people talking total nonsense for two hours odd.

[@ehs1452]

Man the British intelligence in this war was something else. It wasn't just D-day where the British had fooled the Germans, when they had artillery set up to strike London, a double agent had falsely informed them that the bombs were hitting their targets, when they were doing little to no damage in the countryside. The Germans continued to miss London thinking it was In ruins (after artists had worked together to make the city look as if it was in ruins) and London was able to quickly recover thanks to this after the war.

Alan Turing only continued Stefan Banach researches. One Enigma (no in 100% complete) used by Werhmacht( was different than used in Kriegsmarine) was transported by Polish AK soldiers from Poland in cooperation with RAF. Later British people found fully complete Kriegsmarine Enigma with code book. That was the final of breaking Enigma mystery :)

[@Artur_M.]

Komandor Bentus Stefan Banach, while great and influential Polish mathematician, had nothing to do with cracking the Enigma. Don't you mean Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski? Also, aren't you mixing Enigma with Operation Most III (when British got parts of the V2 rocket thanks to AK). If I remember correctly, Enigma machine they got from us was a copy of older version, build before the war, based on information gathered by our and French intelligences.

[@komandorbentus2731]

Yes, it was Stefan Banach and others mathematician like Rejewski, Różycki and Zygalski,. You're right, I meant an older version of Enigma based on Polish-French inteligences information. Thanks for notice, you made it more precise. Old type Enigma from Werhmacht was carried to London before war.

[@triangulum8869]

This channel is the best historical channel on KZbin, period. I love all of your videos, keep up the amazing work

[@pikminlord343]

this is an excellent segment

[@filipfilip3335]

Reminder. Actually the Poles broke the Enigma even before war. And they have informed allies about that.

[@themadhammer3305]

Kind of, they had broken a previous version of Enigma prior to the war. But by the start of the war the Germans were using upgraded machines that Poland had yet to crack. They did provide a huge amount of the early research though which absolutely made the job of the UKs code breakers far easier

[@emilyyeoh3897]

But the germans changed the code

[@nerdomatic2489]

Yet another Polish slavaboo fanboy boasting about accomplishments despite being misinformed. Poland cracked the EARLIEST enigma - Germans later upgraded and updated the code. And before you bring up the bs that "Enigma cracking machines in Bletchley Park were from Poles" I will just say no.

Thank you for including Canadian contribution here (though very briefly) - if people would take a look at Canada's contribution (both in the sense of successful operations, where they were often used as the tough "shock troops", but also take a gander at how much of the crucial food+other supplies which Canada contributed to the war effort in both WW1 and WW2 For just ONE example, by 1944 - nearly HALF of the Royal Air Force (RAF, Britain's air force) ground crew were Canadians, and about 1/4 of the air crew. Canada took over more and more of the Allied convoy work across the north Atlantic (which was incredibly dangerous work, uboats sank a lot of shipping as did other things -half of the convoy work was done by Canadians by 1943 and most of it by the end of 1944. Canada did not receive a cent of lend-lease aid from the USA. Instead of receiving, she was actually paying out of pocket to the United Nations. The total at the end of 1944 was some 4 billion dollars, which is more dollars per capita than the entire US lend-lease contribution. I know this video is ancient and nobody will ever read this, but I feel Canada's contribution to the war (and here I havent even mentioned things like food which the UK would literally have starved without) is completely unknown to most people and deserves more recognition. Thank you for your time

[@whatnot3474]

Always nice to hear about the ridiculous lengths the British went with fake intel for D-Day. Would of been nice to hear a bit more about the British Funnie tanks as well though - they were pretty amazing (floating tanks anyone?).

[@kchishol1970]

Not just the amphibious tanks, but the mine-flayers, the bunker busters with a cannon so big it had to be loaded from the outside, the bridge layers for medium length gaps. Even more badass were the tanks whose job was to drive into ant-tank trenches, lower the ramps fore and after to serve as a quick bridge for regular tanks pass over with the crew wait it out inside from before before moving. Finally, there were the armored bulldozers who had to do the grunt work clearing obstacles to enable the regular tanks to advance. In fact, this collection deserves a video in and of itself.

[@whatnot3474]

Totally right - there were an amazing number of tanks the British created. I've always been interested in if their is an analysis of there effectiveness (it's worth noting that the US, for the most part, didn't use them and had the most trouble capturing their beaches, but you can't draw conclusions for this). The main reason I mentioned the amphibious tanks is because I love their nick names. They were called DD tanks, so of course the troops nicknamed them Donald Ducks!

The man who fooled the Germans so hard he gave them info about what was going on in Great Britain.... without ever setting foot there. And if legends are to be believed, his work would serve as inspiration for the character that fellow SOE member Ian Fleming (wink wink, nudge nudge) would create one day....
