The SECRET German Device - The Enigma Machine #worldwar2 #ww2 #history #historyfacts #enigma

The Enigma machine is a famous encryption device used primarily by Nazi Germany before and during World War II. It was invented by the German engineer Arthur Scherbius at the end of World War I. The machine was employed extensively for secure military communications, believed to be virtually unbreakable at the time due to its complex encryption capabilities.

Enigma gave the Germans too much confidence

Probably the most famous secret device, multiple films and books about it.

I bet cracking the Enigma machine was a nightmare. In the end Germans got lazy and were caught off guard.

I thought Alan Touring was responsible for that. Touring was British.

The allies caught a german u boat with a working enigma machine. The poles didn't crack it

[billwilson-esyn]

Didn't that device start off as an encryption device for business purposes that was modified for military and state use?

[RiesenUmpaLumpa]

Thats not true.... The british captured an enigma just before america joined the war. And after that they cracked the enigmacode. Not earlier

It's called National-Socialist or National-Socialism, not Not-see. But simply "German" does the trick too.

80 years later he tells us? Stupidity is on display!

Unless you lived in a cave and never saw an electronic device maybe you haven't heard about the enigma machine or a product of modern education in the US.
