  Rózycki Jerzy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Jerzy Różycki was a Polish mathematician and cryptologist.
A student of the Mathematical Institute at the University in Poznan, he was given in 1929, along with twenty-odd of his fellow-students, a rudimentary training in codebreaking during a special course, organized by the military.
On 9 January 1942, Jerzy Rozycki died when the M/S "Lamoriciere," in which he was crossing the Mediterranean in from France to Algeria, sunk near the Balearic Isles in a storm, possibly after hitting a mine.

 Marian Rejewski
Born in Bydgoszcz, Rejewski was a fellow of Poznan University[?] and a member of Polish military intelligence.
He formed a group with Jerzy Rozycki and Henryk Zygalski[?], who broke the cipher of Enigma machine and built a working replica in the 1930s.
The British and Americans later used information gathered by Rejewski to aid their own attempts to decipher Enigma messages.

 How Mathematicians Helped Win WWII
The Poles had made a critical first step, but this did not solve the puzzle posed by the ability the machine gave the Germans to change the position of each rotor, to alter the way the rotors shifted each other, and to vary the way the plug board was used.
Rejewski was then joined by two other Polish mathematicians, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Rozycki, and together they were able to overcome many of these difficulties, and could read some German Army and Air Force messages by the time World War II began in 1939.
The Polish Army was quickly overrun by the Germans, however, and the Poles who worked on the problem fled from Poland through Southern Europe and made their way to France by early 1940.

For one weekend, Polish code breakers had an opportunity to thoroughly study an Enigma machine - before it was carefully repackaged for Monday morning pickup.
As a result of this examination, three Polish mathematicians (Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Rozycki, and Henryk Zygalski) discovered that the Enigma's keyboard was wired in alphabetical order, not keyboard order.
With that discovery in hand, they created a decoder machine, called, La Bomba (because it was cylindrical, like a bomb) which helped the Poles trace Nazi naval, air and land movements.

The Bombe’s prominence around Bletchley shows why its inventor, Turing, is so highly revered; but while much of the success in breaking Enigma is often attributed to his brilliance, the tour of Bletchley highlighted that there were many others who made just as significant contributions as that of the Cambridge professor.
Special tributes were paid to the Polish mathematicians Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Rozycki; men who broke German intercepts as early as 1932 before handing their findings over to French and British intelligence in 1939.
