The Enigma machine, a cipher device used by Nazi Germany during World War II, was central to their secure communication. Its electromechanical rotor mechanism scrambled the alphabet, enabling the encryption and decryption of messages. The machine’s security was based on ever-changing key settings, updated daily, and specific configurations for each message. Despite its intricate design, Polish cryptologists broke the Enigma code in 1932, a breakthrough shared with the Allies that provided critical intelligence throughout the war. At Bletchley Park, Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman created the Bombe, a device that played a pivotal role in deciphering Enigma-encoded messages. Their groundbreaking work, alongside contributions from other codebreakers, was instrumental in securing Allied victories.
