The polish had largely reverse engineered the enigma machine, they gave their notes to bletchley park, and Turing refined their codes using more notes gathered by the french

Not to undermine the genius of Turing himself, but crediting the enigma cracking to purely him is a disservice to everyone involved in that endeavour
