Colossus was used to crack Tunny (Lorenz cypher machine) used by German High Command, while the Bombe machines were used to attack Enigma.

Thank you, you're right of course, I couldn't recall 'Tunny' and hoped I'd get away with 'helped' as general contributory effort in that line of work with 'Enigma' as something everyone's heard of. Probably should have said 'used at BP' or something instead though.
