Kruh, Cryptologia 27.4, notes that these essays come out of a conference on "The Contribution of Polish Intelligence to the Allied Victory in the Second World War," and mark the 70th anniversary (2002) of the breaking of the military Enigma by the Polish mathematician Marian Rejewski.
Sexton notes that by focusing on "the pioneering Polish contribution to the solution of ENIGMA," this article "[s]eeks to correct the impression that ULTRA was primarily an Anglo-American achievement."
According to Pforzheimer, the author focuses on "the role of Polish cryptologists in breaking the early German (pre-World War II) Enigma ciphers." Kozachuk may "give his Polish compatriots more credit than perhaps they should receive, major though their early work was." This volume belongs "on the shelf of important books on the Ultra secret."

 Cryptologia: Australian WWII intelligence
One Ultra historian said, MacArthur's use of Ultra to design his Hollandia plan "survives as perhaps the classic example of the application of intelligence from codebreaking to operational planning in World War II." There are several other references to Allied codebreaking.
One section discusses the conflicts on MacArthur's staff between Major General Richard K. Sutherland, his Chief of Staff, and Major General Willoughby, the Intelligence chief.
But, throughout this remarkable history it is the heroism and sacrifices of the coastwatchers who remain etched in your memory.

Philby, who was appointed head of the SIS anti-Soviet section in 1944, infiltrated the Ustashe ratline and Vatican Intermarium [16.] with Soviet spies [17.], while Angleton and Dulles chose to ignore the ultra Fascist leanings of their Croatian assets.

 Cryptanalysis of the Enigma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Enigma machine was used commercially from the early 1920s on, and was also adopted by the military and governmental services of a number of nations — most famously, by Nazi Germany before and during World War II (WWII).
The two "Enigma doubles" were shipped to Paris, whence Gustave Bertrand brought one to London for the British, turning it over at Victoria Station, as he was to recall in his Enigma, to Stewart Menzies of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service.
