How Alan Turing Cracked the Enigma Code in WWII 🕵️‍♂️

The Enigma machine was a cypher device used by Germany during World War II to encrypt military communications. However, the seemingly unbreakable Enigma code was eventually cracked by a team of British codebreakers at Bletchley Park, led by mathematician Alan Turing. Turing designed the Bombe, an early electromechanical machine that successfully broke the Enigma code, a feat that was instrumental in shortening WW2. Turing's work on the Enigma machine is considered a precursor to modern computers, revolutionising the field of cryptography and computing. His efforts are portrayed in the film The Imitation Game.

✍️ ABOUT STEVE LEE
I've been a storyteller all my life with a deep love of history. As a dreamer in Sunday School, I was mesmerised by the stories of the Bible - David and Goliath, the Battle of Jericho and the parting of the Red Sea. But through my teenage years, I struggled to get the whole religious thing and left it well alone. It took me some time to realise I needed to go back and pick up what I left behind. At 20 I encountered the God of the Bible stories I had learned about as a kid and it changed my life forever. I founded Miracle Street as a result and it has taken me all over the world on countless adventures. Today I communicate in all kinds of environments - indoors, outdoors and online, often retelling the stories of famous lives and epic moments from the past. Behind it all is a backcloth of the greatest story ever told - the story of a creator God who has relentlessly loved this world and the people in it.
