There are many different models of Enigma machines, developed for different uses by different countries from the 1920s until the 1940s. The Modified Army and Air Force Enigma I was the most common model of Enigma in use by the Germans, but we know that this particular machine was captured and used by the Codebreakers at Bletchley Park. | Bletchley Park

During WWII, Alan Turing designed the Bombe at Bletchley Park to break Germany's Enigma cipher machine. This electromechanical device simulated thousands of Enigma settings, using known plaintext "cribs" to deduce daily keys. It decrypted vital Nazi communications, giving Allies a strategic edge and shortening the war by years. #wwii #historyfacts #epichistory | Epic History TV
