German enigma machine cracked#

The Enigma code made the Germans superior during WW2 and gave an advantage over the rest of the world including the British, United States, and its Allies. My project relates to the 2019 History Fair by theme communication because they would use a coding like language to speak to each other across the world.

I will provide videos on the enigma during WW2.

The other page could have the Enigma picture and how it was solved and how Alan Turning, and his team cracked the code of figuring out what the messages said. I can input one page about how it was constructed and coded with videos to describe it. The website has videos of the Germans using the Enigma and building it.įor my project I chose website because I can put an abundance of information in one area and can organize each page with different parts about the Enigma. This website has helped me tremendously during times when I couldn’t figure anything out with the Enigma. The website also gives me a brief explanation how they built the coding machine and how it was used to send messages. This website shows all the codes during the wars through 1939-1945. The most useful source I used was /Enigma Machine. The enigma also is extradentary because my great, great grandfather was a British soldier during WW2 and he used to tell his son about the stories of the enigma which then was passed down towards my family and it was amazing to hear that my great, grandfather knew about it.

The movie was called The Imitation Game explaining how they broke the code. They made a movie about the enigma and how the British broke the code to find what the Nazis secret messages were to other German soldiers during the war. I picked the Enigma for my topic because I love coding and WW2 history.
