The Polish Embassy has posted a series of short interview segments with Marian Rejewski, the first person to crack the Enigma.
Like many cryptographers that come eventually to public attention Marian Rejewski had an interesting life.
Sadly for "Security reasons" his skills went to waste during WWII when he arrived in Britain.
As British cryptographer Alan Stripp said in his 2004 book on the three Polish Cryptographers,.
"Setting them to work on the Doppelkassetten system was like using racehorses to pull wagons."
