For these, I thank Dr. David Link, who kindly send me the reference
to his article in Cryptologia ( see the first link above ).

I am afraid I do not have any contacts in Poland, but if by any chance 
any readers of this list can help, please answer David directly :

Polish codebreakers
-------------------

SIR - Poland's parliament has accused Britain of taking too much 
credit for cracking Nazi Germany's Enigma code ( report, October 9 ). 
I recently took my son to Bletchley Park to celebrate his birthday.

Our guide gave a glowing report of Poland's early contribution, as did 
the static displays in the museum. We both came away humbled by the 
brilliance of everyone involved, and fully aware that nothing of what went 
on at Bletchley Park would have been achieved without the work of the 
Polish scientists.

SIR - In his book The Secret Life of Bletchley Park, Sinclair McKay's 
contributors credit the crucial role Polish mathematicians played in the 
breaking of the Enigma code.
