🕵️♂️ Enigma in World War II
-
The great breakthrough for the Enigma came in World War II, when it became the most important encryption device of the German
Wehrmacht and navy. Nearly every military message was encoded with it, from simple orders to strategic plans. - The British and their allies quickly realized the importance of decrypting these messages. Even before the war, Polish cryptologists, including Marian Rejewski, made early progress in cracking the code. In Britain, at Bletchley Park under the leadership of Alan Turing and his team, machine methods were developed, including the legendary 'Bombe,' the first mechanical deciphering machine.

Cracking the Enigma is widely regarded as a decisive factor in the outcome of the war.
