Enigma machine explained GREAT!, Then you see the length of the video, one minute 47 seconds... WTF!

If it weren't for Polish mathematicians, for a hundred years brits would not know how to get down to this German toy ...

This is a pretty cool little video, though I would argue that it is the encryption method itself that is complicated not the actual machine itself.

Soooo... what kind of message was being encrypted? I can't believe how hard it is to find this info. Is this a radio message, an electronic message like a telegram, or teletype, or does this spit out a piece of paper for a messenger pigeon or what?

Disturbing annoying background musical sounds. Why do you have to bore viewers.

I just stop watching whenever I hear an Irish accent and the video has anything to do with World War Two.
