Cracking the Enigma Code (Encore)

from Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography, & More · host Gary Arndt

During the Second World War, the Germans used what they thought was an uncrackable encryption system.  It was a really good encryption system, and for the longest time, the Allies had a difficult time cracking the code.  However, thanks to brilliant code breakers, a powerful computing machine, and German mistakes, the Allies were finally able to break the code.  Learn more about the Enigma Code and how it was broken on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
