I’m quite interested in the subject, but literally never heard of Rejewski until now and it feels pretty terrible. A lot gets said about other biases, but Poles seem to not get a lot of credit pretty consistently and often get appropriated by the host countries they had to work for. Hope that’s all in the past now…

Bad enough that despite half a million army on the western front, it was effectively banned to take part in London victory parade.

Have a read of the Charge at Krojanty for an example of Nazi propaganda. A myth that perpetuates till very recent.
