Well Sir, seems, that you did not pay attention in the history classes when they have been teaching about who really broke the Enigma system. For your information it has been done by the POLISH mathematicians. Please be good enough and read your history book again. Nevertheless good presentation.
This is my job, patriotism is no excuse for rudeness. This is a ten minute video about the enigma machine. It is not a video about the Polish codebreakers.
The bombs that you talk about at the end of the video, were actually an idea of Marian Rejewski. They were actually called "Rejewski's Bombs". You Brits only developed methods of breaking daily keys and made these bombs larger and working faster. Really man, read more facts first. Interesting video but please don't be so satisfied and proud of what You Brits did, because it was Poles :)
The bomba was designed by Rejewski and exploited a mistake in German prodcedures where the message key was repeated allowing them to find patterns. The British continued to use this method until the Germans changed their procedure. Suddenly this method no longer worked.
Turing exploited a different flaw in the enigma machine. The fact that no letter is encoded as itself. Turing's bombe was named in honour of the original polish bomba machine, but were completely different.
James, Brits didn't break the code. Main contribution in breaking Enigma had Polish mathematics - Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Rozycki and Henryk Zygalski. They worked for several years to bring it down to it's core. I am Polish, I'm very proud of that fact. Brits and French were given all the work that Poles made on Enigma wiring, socket board and methods of breaking daily keys. It's very important. Poles didn't have enough funds later during war to continue breaking daily keys. Read more history ;)
Really enjoyed this video. Just wanted to thank you for putting in the time sharing this with everyone.

I didn't want to offend you, really. Interesting and meritorically well made video, in the matter of the way Enigma works. Cheers!

Thank you for leting us see a real Enigma.
Did you read "The Code Book" by Simon Singh.
It's about history and role of secret codes in history.
It has a big part about Enigma and breaking Enigma code.

I can't really remember, but is "100 sextillion" the correct shorthand for "one hundred thousand million million million"?
