M-209
Description
An account of the resource
The M-209 was a cipher machine invented by Boris Hagelin or AB Cryptoteknik at the beginning of WWII. As a pin-and-lug cipher machine, it did not require electricity. During the war, German cryptanalysts called the machine "AM-1" for "American Machine #1".
In 1942, cryptanalysts from the US and UK had a debate over this machine. The British were concerned that the Italians would be able to read American Hagelin traffic, as they had been able to read Italian Hagelin traffic. However, the US chose to ignore this- citing that breaking the M-209 would be too difficult and time-consuming for the Axis powers. As it turned out, the Germans were able to read ~10% of American Hagelin traffic. This was 6% due to cryptanalysis and 4% due to captured keys. However, this decryption usually took 7-10 days- often rendering the message old and not useful.

SIGABA
Description
An account of the resource
SIGABA was an electro-mechanical cipher machine created in the late 1930s by the US Army and Navy. It was considered an impressive cryptomachine in that time period to the degree that it was used throughout WWII and into the 1950s.
By the end of WWII, over 10,000 machines had been deployed. They were used notably by the US Navy in submarines and battleships. Although the number of machines was less than half the quantity of the Enigma machines used by the Germans, they still kept high-level communications secured. In fact, SIGABA has never been broken.

Description
An account of the resource
Classical Ciphers and Application features analyses of various ciphers- including classical ciphers and the application of ciphers used during WWII. The purpose of the collection is to explain how classical ciphers work and show the patterns among substitution (replacement) and transposition(scramble) ciphers. For further understanding in application, it attempts to provide an analysis of the famous substitution ciphers- the Zimmerman Telegram and WWII Pigeon Cipher.

WWII Pigeon Cipher
Description
An account of the resource
The WWII Pigeon Cipher describes a coded message found on the remains of a carrier pigeon discovered in 1982. This message was sent to the curator of the Pigeons at War exhibit at Bletchly Park, however he found it impossible to crack.
In 2012, Canadian researchers at Lakefield Heritage Research believe they have cracked most of the code using a WWI artillery code book. They believe it was from a British paratrooper, Sergeant William Stott, who parachuted into Normandy on a reconnaissance mission and reads:
"Artillery observer at 'K' Sector, Normandy. Requested headquarters supplement report. Panzer attack - blitz. West Artillery Observer Tracking Attack.
"Lt Knows extra guns are here. Know where local dispatch station is. Determined where Jerry's headquarters front posts. Right battery headquarters right here.
Found headquarters infantry right here. Final note, confirming, found Jerry's whereabouts. Go over field notes. Counter measures against Panzers not working.
Jerry's right battery central headquarters here. Artillery observer at 'K' sector Normandy. Mortar, infantry attack panzers.
Hit Jerry's Right or Reserve Battery Here. Already know electrical engineers headquarters. Troops, panzers, batteries, engineers, here. Final note known to headquarters."

Description
An account of the resource
The T-52 G-Schreiber was developed around 1930 by Siemens & Halske. It was used by the Germans in WWII in conjunction with the Enigma and Lorenz. Intercepting messages that were in-depth enough to decipher was difficult for Allied codebreakers because it was used via land lines and only occasionally over radio. However, it was possible and Swedish and British codebreakers were able to decipher pieces of traffic ciphered by the machine Bletchly Park(UK) dubbed "STURGEON".

By January of 1942, they had figured out how TUNNY worked and built a replica.

PURPLE was a Japanese cipher machine used during WWII and based off the Enigma's rotor technology. While it was developed in 1937 with four rotors (compared to the Enigma's three), it was broken only a few years later in 1940 without being seen by the successful cryptanalysts. William Friedman and the U.S. Signal Intelligence Service did this by building a working replica of the highest Japanese security code.

Cipher Tools and Machines contains examples of cipher tools and machines seen through out history, particularly within the context of military history. From Ancient Greece to the Cold War, cryptology has played a significant part in the communication and intelligence efforts between opposing forces.
They, along with cryptanalysts, have even been credited with shortening the duration of wars. Without the British intelligence project ULTRA, WWII may have lasted for another two years. However, while many great cryptanalysts hail from Britain, the UK is not exclusive in their cryptographic abilities. The Enigma was invented in Germany, and its stronger rendition, Fialka- in Russia. In comparison to these cryptomachines, the US SIGABA remains unbroken. Those are only a few cipher machines flound in this collection.

Description
An account of the resource
The Enigma was an electromechanical cipher machine used by Germany in WWII. It came in the form of a typewriter and was adopted by the German Army, Air Force, and Navy to secure communications.
In 1939, Alan Turing broke the cipher and developed a method to detect the settings on the Enigma and let the Allied Forced decipher messages. This was significant as it resulted in the Allied Forces evading German U-Boats in the Battle of the Atlantic.
