My mistake! Funkers sent and received messages in morse code over the radio. Radio signals were UKW (ultra-kurz-welle = ultra short wave) or LW (lang-welle = long wave.) After receiving a message the enigma machine was used to decode it. Then it was re-encoded if it had to be transmitted to a distant receiver.
Great video; Thank you! My Dad was a funker (radio-operator) with the luftwaffe. (He was NOT a Nxzi) Part of his job was using this machine to send/recieve messages. The messages were about repairing the aircraft in his unit, numbers of engine parts to be replaced) He lives in Baltimore, so I hope to bring him to the museum in Ft. Meade to see the machine you videoed.
Nice on how to operate it. Does not matter if it does not tells about how it works but knowing how the machine operates its easier to understand how it works. :P
Unfortunately, this video tells us nothing about how the machine works! In the Search bar at the top of the screen, type in: LFraserS. That will take you to a series of videos made by one of the people who works at Bletchley Park. Look at: Bletchley Park Tour - Part 3A", that REALLY tells you how Enigma works!!!

@mojo2600 I wonder if the gas chambers played music too, after the jews were dead.
