This show sounds extremely exciting and I will have to find it.

I once met the people of Cryptomuseum and got to touch one of these machines during a lecture. It was the best thing ever happening!<br /><br />If you like these, Bletchey Park and books, you must read Cryptonomicon one day.

The battles for North Africa and the North Atlantic both hinged on timely Enigma decrypts (or not, as in the case of the 6-months intelligence blackout in the north Atlantic, after the German Navy changed rotors on their U-boat Enigma machines).<br /><br />Like you, I'd like to own an Enigma, but they're considered priceless. I wonder if someone will do a 3-D printed reproduction someday?Joe Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679530650280030752noreply@blogger.com
