Description
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.
