- The German Enigma encoding machine and the contributions of famous cryptologists who broke it, are still topics, which fascinate both scientists and general public. After the monarchy of Kaiser Wilhelm II fell, the Weimar republic came into being, and the idea of equipping the armed forces with machine ciphers already found realization in 1926. The German cipher machine, called Enigma, alarmed the general staffs of neighbouring countries, especially Poland and France. This work intends to describe the efforts of cryptanalysts who solved the mystery of Enigma during the 30-ties before the beginning of the war.
