A detailed Summary of enigma code book

The Enigma code machine was first thought up before world war two started, so

that German's could send information back and forth without enemies being able

to see what they were saying. The Enigma code machine could send 150 million,

million, million, different messages. And with that many different ways of

sending codes, the Germans believed that no one could crack the Enigma code.

The Enigma writing machine looked very much like a typewriter in a wooden box,

The Germans were able to keep changing the types of codes by changing the

order of the rotors, and there positions. If anyone wanted to crack the code for that

day they would have to find out the exact positions of the rotors, which takes lots

of time and skill. The code breaker's might work all day and try all different

positions and still not find out what the code they intercepted meant. It took very

talented experts to be able to crack these codes , with great skills in mathematics

They intercepted more than 3,000 codes a day in these special code breaking

stations called "Y" stations. These codes were then taken to diffe

The Germans had one precaution if the submarine was being over taken the code

rotor cipher machines. The information of the codes called "ultra" were only seen

called "wolf packs". The "wolf packs" cause huge amount of damage to the allied

5'000 letters a second with out any problem.

U-110 had been overtaken by British ships protecting a convoy, the German crew

code breaking team had grown with roughly 7 thousand men and women

thoughout the message, and make it much easier to crack the code. When they did

If they were lucky some messages would begin with the same word,

one of the last victory's in the desert. And helped allies be more aware of U-boats
