It certainly made the contribution, but it was the toil of the soldiers that really stopped the war.

MI6 doled out intelligence according to the statistical probabilities to avoid Nazi suspicion. - geoffkait 16:25:22 12/29/14 (2)
I think you might have missed the whole point of the movie. And of the significance of breaking Enigma. In the movie MI6 agrees to keep the whole thing secret and not tip their hand. That's why it took so long, two years or whatever, for the war to end. But it was the big battles like Normandy that we won due to the intelligence gotten from cracking Enigma. But others battles we lost because MI6 did not provide intelligence for all battles, only a statistical sampling worked out by, guess who? Turning.
