About ENIGMA:


Invented in 1918 at the end of World War I by Arthur Scherbius, ENIGMA served as the primary means of military and diplomatic communication for Nazi Germany throughout World War II. It was first cracked in 1932 by the Polish Cipher Bureau. Just months before the Nazi invasion of Poland, the Polish government supplied British Intelligence with their decoder technology and equipment. This enabled the Government Code and Cipher School located at Bletchley Park (the precursor to today's MI6) to eventually decipher all Nazi communications without their knowledge. Several versions of ENIGMA existed, including the Kriegsmarine's Funkschlüssel C ("Radio cipher C"), Funkschlüssel M3 and later the 4 rotor Abwehr M4, the Reichswehr's ENIGMA G and the civilian use ENIGMA A, B, C and D. During World War II, Axis powers such as Italy (Navy Cipher D), and Japan (ENIGMA T, or Tirpitz; Code Name INDIGO) also used ENIGMA for their communications. Eventually, Japan used the knowledge gained from ENIGMA to upgrade their own cipher communications device (Codename RED) to a new, more sophisticated device, Codename PURPLE.
