Enigma - The True Story

The original Enigma device was developed by a German engineer named Arthur Scherbius and was patented in 1918 during the World War I. It was a commercial device available by mail order to anyone who wanted to buy it. Although Scherbius and his partner E. Richard Ritter approached the German government, no secret agency showed interest in their machine. During the following years, several improvements were implemented and Enigma became well known in Europe, Asia and United States, being legally sold in many countries.
