Sheesh, I'd love to find an Enigma machine in the trash. I know what
they look like, as I've seen one at the Smithsonian. Maybe if I smash the glass and run fast enough, I can escape across the Mall to the Metro stop. |

It's not all that many years ago that FCC prohibited ASCII use on the air, because it's a code. But it's your license.

Yeah,I once saw an ad about a real sho nuff World War Two Enigma Code Machine in a magazine about twenty five something years ago.(instead,I caught a flight in November of 1971 and I went to Sioux Falls,South Dakota and I bought a 1914 Ford T model one seat roadster car,I still have/own that car too and I ill not sell or trade for love or money.Also,instead,I bought a half acre of land in North Florida a bunch of years ago,I still have/own that half acre too and I will not sell or trade for love or money,Sue me,if y'all dont like it) If I had had about three thousand five hundread dollars to spare,I certainly would have seriously considered buying that Enigma Code Machine. cuhulin |

I remember reading the first book which scooped the enigma story. Title
and author: I forget ;/. Anyway it said: 1) Britain used decoded E messages to learn what the Germans were targeting that day during Battle of Britain. Air Command moved their fighter patrols more or less into the general area where the Huns would be showing up. This doubled effective air power and turned possible English defeat into a victory. According to the author, England's radar system was helpful, but the highly secret E code breaking was what was decisive. 2) Rommel's Africa Corp went from winning to losing thanks to decoding messages which had the details of when and where the German fuel conveys were to show up next in the ports. England let a few convoys get through in order to hide the fact that they were reading the mail, otherwise they sank most of the rest, IOW, Montgomery won in Africa 'cause his tanks had a reasonable supply of petrol, and the Huns' didn't. If Germany's messages were in the clear, they would have had enough fuel, but they weren't. 3) Germany lost the war in the Atlantic 'cause decoding revealed where their 'milk cow' tankers were lying in wait to refuel the long range attack submarines. 4) Decoded E messages told Ike where the German armies were waiting in France, which changed D day from a giant gamble to an almost guaranteed success. Perhaps the book was an exaggeration, but pretty much the author believed Hitler would have had a stalemate, not a defeat. Except for the captured Enigma devices which enormously aided the economical deploying of Allied forces. |

Besides, they hardly ever prosecute anyway. From another NG I note that the order of the rotors cannot be changed in the commercial product, they always rotate the same, and their order and wiring is fixed and known, vastly simplifying breaking the code. On top of which the Feds have and can break the code or any code, with a Cray it should take 2 messages. They prohibited ASCII over ten years after its creation, and with countless sources of the ASCII code to choose from. The fact that they knew the code (or could easily find it) didn't make any difference to them. Like I said, they hardly ever prosecute anyway. -- All relevant people are pertinent.
