The story of this machine first began in the 1920s, when the German military
began to communicate in unintelligible coded messages. The machine
enabled its operator to type a message, then „scramble‟ it using a letter
substitution system, generated by variable rotors and an electric circuit. To
decode the message, the recipient needed to know the exact settings of the
wheels. German code experts added new plugs, circuits and features to the
machine during the pre-war years, but its basic principle remained the same.
The first people who came close to cracking the German code were the
Polish, who shared their information with the British, who in turn established
the Government Code and Cipher School at Bletchley Park in
Buckinghamshire. Mathematicians and intelligence experts, with the help of
primitive early computers, began the complex and urgent task of cracking
the eponymous code.
Name the machine.
