NOVA #2615: Decoding Nazi Secrets PBS Air date: November 9, 1999
Many PBS Programs showed that this, so called, Public Station "specializes" in rewriting a history.
In the Decoding Nazi Secrets we see PBS's way of explaining the true brilliance of the Polish Cryptographers.
Not a talent nor hard work nor vision, but simply a "luck" was a factor in breaking Enigma cipher:
TONY SALE: Rejewski had a flash of inspiration and he thought,
what about if they've been stupid enough to just use ABCD
as the order round the rotor, and they had, all the multitude
of millions and millions of ways in which they could have scrambled
the connection from the keyboard to the entry point, and they'd just
chosen ABCD. And Marian Rejewski in desperation tried that, it worked,
and suddenly he'd got the internal connections
of the whole of the German forces machine.

Codes and Ciphers in the Second World War. The Website
for the history, science and engineering of cryptanalysis in World War II created by Tony Sale
Very Politically Correct Page. Tony Sale's Lectures even when mention the Polish Cryptographers, the given facts have nothing to do with the historical accuracy. For example:
"GC&CS already had a few intercepts and at least one plain text / ciphertext pair,
reputed to have been smuggled to England by a Polish cipher clerk."
"The early Naval machine was soon worked out because the Poles
had purchased a commercial version."
