The Nazi Enigma encoder was sold

During World War II, Nazi Germany created the Enigma machine to encode all correspondence, keeping the military information completely confidential. In addition to strong military capacity, Germany alone fought with all of Europe and neighboring countries. Before this situation, the British army had to find a way to break Enigma's decoder in search of an opportunity to stop the German advance.

Nazi Enigma encoder sold for $ 233,000

German soldiers were ordered to destroy the Enigma machine if they lost, retreated, or were about to be arrested, to avoid this secret from reaching the Allies, so there were very few Enigma machines left today, And The Imitation Game also contributed to more people hunting for this machine.

According to NBC New, a machine in good condition, produced in 1943 has just been auctioned for $ 232,015, almost double the price intended to be auctioned.

Enigma is a German-made typewriter, capable of producing 159 million million (18 0) different encodings to encode the words it writes. Every day the Germans changed a different coding command, starting at 0pm, until 6am, the Allied intelligence would get the telegram encoded and transmitted, so they had 18 hours to decode that function. According to Alan Turing , if 10 people try each Enigma's encryption algorithm, work 24/7, it will take 20 million years to decipher a crypto, while they only have up to 18 hours. for each picture only. Therefore, Alan decided to create a superior machine than Enigma, capable of debating unnecessary algorithms to find the exact key, to decipher the secret code immediately, and he became public!
