Do you know the story of the enigma code?

History (31)

The enigma code was the code used by the germans in WW2 to communicate with their U-boats, among other things.

It was cracked by a man named Alan Turing, and it more or less brought WW2 to it's conclusion. Without his code cracking machine, D Day could never have happened.

Late last week I went a saw the movie called the Imitation Game and it was brilliant and this is where I learnt about the Enigma Code and what Allan Turing had achieved. My wife read about it in the paper last year.

I saw the movie and a documentary this last week and that's how I learnt about him. I'm horrified at what happened to him, and that I had never even heard of him, despite hearing about the enigma code so many times in my life!

Never heard of it before. I like Benedict Cumberbatch and am looking forward to watching the movie. But I will read up on the Enigma Code.

I've just seen the massive book, inspired by the movie, in a small library where I help out. Yet to borrow the book, but I will later this year.

Yes, learnt about it in Modern History at School, back in late '60's.
Have seen a doco. on tv about it since, & will go & see movie, as I think Benedict Cumberbatch is a consummate actor of our time.
