  • Now to make it in minecraft with redstone... Lol

  • @mlnlme1 Omg... that would be fucking awesome

  • Thank you so much, that was really great. Them Germans sure are crafty, its like the 1st laptop computer. If they are calling the Atikythera mechanism a computer, than so is this baby

  • enigma is deciphered by Polish mathematicians :D

    

  • Where can i get these cheaper than 4-5 K, firstly.

    Secondly, what use are they nowadayS??

  • they're rare so probably wont find many around. no use i supose these days but they are a collectors piece and rare so any enthusiast, im sure would love one (but i dunno, not my machine, i put this video up on behalf of a friend)

  • Cheers mate, sorry to respond so late :DDD

  • I learnt that trying to break this Enigma code (without the use of another Enigma machine) will require a 1 in 150 million, million, million probability in getting it right or correct. How then did the English (etc) teams decipher these German codes in real time (even with the help of an Enima machine with the decoding regularly changed)?

  • no code in unbreakable, well maybe the one-time pad, but it helped that they invented the worlds first electronic computer to help them solve it and the finest minds in the world working together. The 1 in a gizzillion would be if you simply guessed, they didn't guess, they put a colossal amount of work into it.

    About as complex to break enigma as it was to build the very first atomic bomb.

  • the "computer" was a mechanical disk/drum machine created by the Polish. Turing only made changes to it. The Brits were no geniuses, but lucked out when the Germans sent an entire message in clear and cryptext.

  • Who cares if the British or Polish take 100% of the credit, the bottom line is we, the free people, defeated Nazi Germany's code and contributed massively to their utter defeat to spite all odds.

  • i wouldn't say the brits were no geniuses. besides paying a guy for the codes, they also had a huge team of people working out of some dude's mansion. can't recall if this is right, but there were like 700 people working daily on it. there's a book out there called the code book, which goes pretty in depth as to what happened. they still broke the code daily. they also used bombets, the first computer code crackers. a major crib in the code was repeating the drum letters twice.

  • the british used everyone's help. they even employed those idiot cervants. they put the idiot cervants( geniouses)  in one room and gave them anything they wanted so long as they work on figuring out the code.

  • Wow! you mean the savants (which were probably autistic big babies as well). Even then, without the help of a captured enigma machine, it might had been a hit or miss error. For the Germans to produce this machine in 1945 era was truly an amazing engineering feat.

  • not in real time. do your homework!

  • I heard very well in one of the 'the world at war' series (war documentary) in which the narrator said the German enigma code messages were being deciphered in real time by the British and allies and when the Germans found this out (shortly after world war 2), they were dumbfounded. You do your assignment to see whether or not this is true!

  • I just wonder how the Germans manage to come up with this type of complex machine in the 1940s impressive.

  • the Enigma was Swiss

  • The Enigma was invented by a man called Albert Scherbius. He was a GERMAN engineer, not swiss.

  • This is actually a NEMA machine and not an Enigma as stated in the video title. The NEMA is a Swiss made next generation Enigma based machine that has 10 rotors instead of the 3 or 4 in the original Enigma.

  • I'm sure it's still useful to some, whoever they are...

    As deciphering the code would still be a task (even with computers...)...

    Maybe not ?

    Could anyone have a comment on that ? ...

  • impressive! how much are you selling it for?

  • sorry, we have already sold it, think it went for between 4K -5K though if you just wanted to know out of interest
