"To break the code, you could try each different setting of the Enigma machine one after the other, but it would take you around five trillion years..." Find out how the German Enigma machine really worked. And how British codebreakers at Bletchley Park were able to finally crack it during the Second World War.

It was able to calculate the rotor settings and plug board settings of the Enigma machine when the German operators started broadcasting a message. No British bombes survive from the war. This one was painstakingly reconstructed and works exactly as the wartime machine would have worked. | History Hit | Facebook

Germany's poor code skills cost them the First World War. In World War Two, they knew they needed something bigger and better. Enter the Enigma Machine, capable of an almost infinite number of combinations, and almost impossible to crack. But a team of Polish mathematicians were sure that everyone else was going about it all wrong, and set out to break the code for themselves. | War Stories
