Company Description
Germany believed the Enigma machine enciphered unbreakable communications and used it to create some of the most top-secret messages of World War II. Our #ENIGMA is a fully operational three-rotor Enigma I electromechanical cipher machine produced for the German military in 1935. It features an ebonite Steckerbrett [plugboard] on the front, which was exclusive to the German armed forces and exponentially increased the complexity of the code.
