Enigma - Cryptology in the 2nd world war

[Thorough Pro]

Found some interesting videos about the famous German Cryptology machine "Enigma"
First two videos are for basic understanding and close look at the machine itself.
Last two are in more detail about the machines and the process itself.

Watch "The imitation game".

Won't disappoint.

That movie is factually wrong. The real work was done by Polish and that too with the help of the real pissed off brother of the actual designer of the machine. His brother sold out the plans/drawings to a Polish agent. Polls did the original deciphering work and then passed on the knowledge to Brits who made the deciphering machine.

If you look at the vids I posted, the design was so ingenious that it was impossible for anyone to break that code using contemporary methods.

I suggested the movie for entertainment purpose, not logical.

I know but while one can ignore all the fantastic and "super-man" stuff in fiction movies, one must not let the wrong depiction of historically facts. I just pointed that out.
