Shortly before the outbreak of WWII Poland cracked the German Enigma codes - Something the British, French, and Americans were unable to do. After Germany invaded Poland gave this information to the British, who were still unable to read the messages.

I've seen a lot of threads saying "If it wasn't for the Americans" or "If it wasn't for the Russians" that we would all be speaking German now. Not true. If it wasn't for Poland we'd all be speaking German now.
