I stand corrected, Marian Rejewski did in fact break the first 3 wheel enigna machines. the latter 5 wheel and naval 8 wheel machines were more time consuming and more difficult to break. A great accomplishment for Mr. Rejewski for his work as early as 1932
I still feel the the major contributing British contribution to the war was the Bletchley Park reading of german message traffic.

I opted for Montgomery's enlargement of the D-Day forces. I think hands down this was a huge decision. While i am certainly no fan of Montgomerys', I belive that this was by far his biggest contribution to the war effort and in fact one of the best decisions made in the war by the Anglo-American forces period. If this wasnt done, only God knows what would of happened. We easily could of been thrown back into the sea and it probably would of taken at least another two years until another invasion of that magnitude could of been launched again. My .02 cents.

always wondered that, if the allies had been thrown back, what a disaster.
The Russians would still be too stong, but I could imagine all the tactical options, with Hitler and OKH drooling! All those troops and equipment! Redeployment of a large number, especially the mobile divisions would have certainly started almost immediately. All those crack SS Divisions and other experienced divisions, probably near or at full strength, heading east just before bagraton was launched. Could have arrived just in time to prevent collapse of army group centre.

AS for me, I'd go with the Bletchley Park readings of the Axis "secret" codes.
