I shoulda included in my previous post: before the war, commercial Enigmas were used by a variety of firms, including the German post office, I believe. What's so incredible about the Polish feat is that they reverse-engineered the military model by breaking the codes, then determining the cyphers and rotor settings necessary to encrypt them. Then they built the duplicate machines--without ever seeing a real one!

Heh *Then the Germans added another gear...luckily the army was often too lazy to change the code on that gear very often...so if MI6 had the "latest and greatest" they could decipher.
Of course we all know the german navy had to use set naval codes which the brits got a hold of in 41', i think and kept it a secret that they had 'em despite the U571 debacle. |
