Welcome to the Enigma Simulator
This machine nearly handed Hitler victory in WWII. The Germans thought it was unbreakable. They were wrong.
One mathematician, working in a converted fruit storage building at a countryside mansion, figured out how to crack it.
His name was Alan Turing
🧠
The Genius
Turing wore a gas mask cycling to work for hay fever. He chained his mug to prevent 'theft.' Brilliant and eccentric!
⚡
The Breakthrough
German messages were predictable. Weather reports always started with 'WETTER.' Routine became their downfall.
🏆
The Impact
Cracking Enigma shortened WWII by 2-4 years, saving millions of lives. One of history's greatest achievements.
