My own view is that there are no ‘real’ or ‘complete’ stories there can only be more-or-less plausible stories - unless one is writing a mathematical treatise, without philosophical undertones. This as a review article (RA) of X, Y & Z: the Real Story of How Enigma was Broken by Dermot Turing, with a Foreword by Arkady Regocki, Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to the UK, the History Press, UK (£ 2 0. 220), but also of course, fascination with Elgar’s composition of the Enigma Variations (I listen to the Bridgewater Hall recording by the Hallé Orchestra).
