In the Oscar-winning movie The Imitation Game, code-breaker Alan Turing battles to master the problem of the German Enigma machine. But the real story begins in the bathroom of a Belgian hotel, where a French spymaster is photographing secret documents. A few months later, a mathematician in a dingy room in Warsaw begins to decipher the coded communications of the Third Reich, and to lay the foundations for the code-breaking operation at Bletchley Park. What is the truth behind the Enigma myth?
