The Enigma machine was an electromechanical rotor cipher machine used by the German navy to encrypt and decrypt messages passing from shore to ships at sea They considered their codes unbreakable and felt safe in exchanging relatively large volumes of radio messages The Enigma Code was a way of encrypting messages used by the Germans To make an Enigma code, one would require an Enigma machine It enabled the Nazi forces during World War II because they would easily encode classified messages and transmit them over thousands of miles What Made the Enigma Code Special? Much of what has been written in the west about the German codes is sheer nonsense For instance, the account of Poles physically stealing an ENIGMA machine from the Germans is a cockandbull story (p 292) Unfortunately, the British seemed to feel no need to acknowledge their ENIGMA debts to the Poles (pp 78)
