Part 2/9:
The Enigma machine, originally designed for commercial purposes, had been adapted by the German military as a tool for encryption. It became a cornerstone of their military strategy, allowing for the secure transmission of crucial information. With each day that the Allied forces struggled to decode these messages, precious supplies were delayed, and lives were lost.
As German U-boats launched relentless attacks on merchant ships traversing the Atlantic, the implications of unbroken codes became dire. The Enigma's sophisticated settings allowed for daily reconfigurations, introducing a staggering number of potential combinations, making it seem nearly impossible to crack.
