"The Imitation Game" ignores Poland's crucial role in breaking Enigma
The film "The Imitation Game" portrays Alan Turing, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, as an almost lone genius who cracked the Enigma cipher and changed the course of World War II. In reality, the breakthrough began in Poland, where Polish mathematicians first decoded the Enigma machine before the war even started. This pivotal chapter is entirely absent from the film, drawing justified criticism from historians and viewers alike.
