The Enigma Code is a cipher created by a machine known as the Enigma Machine. During World War II, the Enigma Machine was an essential communication tool for the Nazi forces. It was used to encrypt top-secret messages, which were then transmitted over long distances to the German mil...

The story of Alan Turing, a gay British code-breaker who saved 14 million lives during World War II, ended tragically with his chemical castration and suicide.
The Outfitwas directed by Oscar-winning screenwriter Graham Moore, who is known for co-writing the 2014 historical drama filmThe Imitation Game, which tells the story of Alan Turing, the genius mathematician who cracked the German Enigma code during World War II. Moore co-wroteThe Outfitalongside...
the code. Enigma was broken in part because of German formality (most messages started with the same formal greeting). Even worse, since some letters are more common than others (e.g., “e” and “g”) you can make progress by just counting up how often...
U.S. code breakers had partially cracked the Japanese Purple code during World War II, and they were fairly certain that Japan was planning an attack at Midway Island. They weren't completely sure if they were reading Japan's code word for the island (AF) correctly, however, so they had...
(Eddy thinks that number should probably be lower, since the Americans who wrote the report didn't know the full extent of the secret British program that cracked the Enigma code.) Ritchie Boys play-acted and dressed as German soldiers in training exercises. They would build a house and cut...
How Did The Enigma Machine Work? Why Was The Enigma Code Called ‘Uncrackable’? Did They Ever Crack The Enigma Code? The Enigma Machine was developed back in the 1920s. It was meant to be a cipher device that would help in the transmission and reception of classified messages. However, ...
Where do a zebra’s stripes, a leopard’s spots and our fingers come from? The key was found years ago — by the man who cracked the Enigma code. Alan Turing at age 16. Photo viaThe Turing Digital Archive. In 1952 a mathematician published a set of equations that tried to explain th...
