Actually, they did. Especially before the war. I've seen the pictures.

They weren't, at least not in the Navy, where onboard ship you had to be able to do different tasks. Although they were primarly cooks, mess attendants, and orderlies, blacks in the navy also had combat assignments as well. One ship's captain had his men trained and used as AA gunners. Others were used as damage control, ammo handlers, medical orderlies, etc.

Are you talking about the photos of the Enigma machine? Did the movie actually say they were taken by the resistance? Because the British already had an Enigma machine, which they got from the Poles. Although this does fly in the face of the seemingly main premise of the movie (they need the machine), in fact all they really needed was the settings for it, i.e., the codebooks. The pictures were (I always assumed anyway) of the one the Brits already had.
