For the Polish

This is a memorial to the Polish mathematicians, who worked to crack German encrypted messages from early Enigma machines. Due to the advance of the German army, their base had to move and eventually their work was handed over to the British. Bletchley Park owes the Polish a lot, and thanks to their efforts managed to break the Enigma codes to the benefit of the British war effort.
