Decoding History: The Enigma Machine and and the World of WWII Cryptography

While the British breakthrough in deciphering Enigma is renowned, the narrative is far from straightforward. This talk delves deeper into the Enigma's design, compare it to contemporary cipher machines from around the world, and discusses its operational use and eventual decryption.
