Marian Rejewski
Marian Rejewski was a Polish mathematician and cryptologist, best known for his pivotal role in breaking the German Enigma cipher during World War II. Working at the Polish General Staff's Cipher Bureau, Rejewski developed techniques that laid the groundwork for the Allied deciphering efforts at Bletchley Park. His early work on the Enigma machine included the use of mathematical logic and permutation theory, which ultimately contributed to the success of the Allies in intercepting and understanding German military communications. His contributions to cryptography were crucial in shifting the balance during the war.
