Enigma

Enigma is an encryption device that was used by the German Nazis during the 2^nd World War to encode secret messages. It was recently discovered by divers in the Baltic Sea. The machine was invented by Arthur Scherbius near the end of the 1^st World War. The use of these machines made it very hard for the Allied Forces to intercept and decode the German’s coded messages. Near the end of the 2^nd World War, the Germans destroyed most of these machines to prevent the Allied powers from accessing them.
