Discover Hitler's top-secret encoder

Historians have suddenly discovered an encryption device used by German fascist Adolf Hitler to send top secret messages to his generals, when they see it posted for sale on eBay with Price of 9.5 Table (about 13.9 USD).

Volunteers from the British National Museum of Informatics tracked the traces of extremely rare Lorenz machines , after seeing it on the online auction site. The device was advertised as a telegraph and historians discovered that it was left in a warehouse in Essex, England in a state of "dirt covering up".

A volunteer of the museum then went to the place to buy the typewriter at a generous price of £ 10.

According to experts, simple commands are typed into the telegraph, then a cryptographic machine connects to it encrypted via a system of 12 wheels with many separate settings. The British Informatics Museum is now calling on people to search for missing engines - a key part of the device.

When the volunteers brought the telegraph from Essex to the museum, they found it printed a typical serial number of the war-era German army, coinciding with the serial number on another machine the museum borrowed from Norway recently. The Norwegian Lorenz SZ42 is similar to a telegraph and is one of about 200 Lorenz devices that existed during World War II.

Only four Lorenz devices were reported to have resisted the war. One of them carries the 1137 serial number and was used at the German headquarters in Lillehammer, Norway.

Experts from the British Museum of Informatics believe that, because Norway was occupied by the Nazis until the end of World War II, the country received the final order of surrender at 24:00 on May 8, 1945. , marked the end of the war.
