Part 7/9:
The Bombe drastically reduced the cognitive burden of code-breaking by simulating the mechanical operations of the Enigma. By using various logical diagrams and menus showing potential letter connections, the Bombe systematically tested configurations at an incredible speed.
Instead of relying solely on manual efforts—which could take years to crack just one message—the Bombe could test thousands of possibilities in minutes. This advancement allowed Turing and his team to quickly isolate configurations that matched, leading to successful decryption of urgent communications vital to the war effort.
