Enigma machine found in Baltic to be restored

 


Divers who found a WWII Enigma coding machine in the Baltic will have their find restored in a German museum, the process will take about a year. The enigma machine is a German Naval Enigma with three coding rotors, not the more complex four-rotor machine used by the U-boat service. The Enigma machines were used throughout WWII but had been cracked by Alan Turing's team working at Bletchley Park in England. As a consequence, the British could read all the German navy's communications from 1941.
