The main mistakes made by the German operators of the Enigma machine were repeating the same settings or patterns, transmitting weather reports multiple times, and human error such as choosing easily guessed phrases for encryption. These mistakes helped Allied codebreakers at Bletchley Park to crack the Enigma code.

Why did the Germans think that the Enigma code could not be broken?

Actually the Germans did not think that the Enigma could not be broken, in fact they made many changes to the machine and the procedures for its use during the war to make it harder to break, just in case the enemy was making any progress at breaking it. However they did make the mistake of assuming that its encryption algorithm had no major weaknesses (the Poles and British found several) and that the very high number of combinations possible on the machine would make any cryptanalytic attack even if successful take so long that the information obtained would have no military value by the time a message was deciphered by the enemy (the Poles and British and Americans built large high speed parallel electromechanical machines called Bombes that automated this and could try hundreds of combinations per minute to reduce this time). The British also discovered that in practice many German Army Enigma operators frequently deliberately violated the official operating procedures, making their messages nearly trivial to break in some cases! German Navy Enigma operators were never allowed to violate official operating procedures, making their slightly different Enigma machine harder to break. Also even when the Navy Enigma was broken all you got was codewords which were gibberish without the current Navy codebook, making it necessary for the British to capture one every time the Germans replaced their codebook with a new version, until then no Navy Enigma messages could be read even when they had been broken.


Who made the enigma machine?

According to Wikipedia, the German Enigma Code was broken by the Polish Cypher Bureau in December 1932 and they passed the information to British and French Intelligence in July 1939

Where did the code breaking happen for the Enigma machine?

Polish cryptanalysts working in Warsaw, Poland first broke the German Army Enigma and built a simple electromechanical Bombe machine in spring of 1939. However when the Germans invaded on September 1, 1939 they had to flee Poland. Initially going to France, but when France was invaded in 1940 the Polish cryptanalysts went to England. There they became part of the team at Bletchley Park. The British team at Bletchley Park had been stymied by Enigma until the Poles arrived, bringing with them a stolen German Army Enigma machine (which answered several questions the British had). Bletchley Park eventually designed larger more advanced and powerful Bombe machines which they used throughout the war to read Enigma messages. Several times the Germans made improvements to the Enigma (especially the Navy Enigma) forcing the British to have to break the cypher again, sometimes even involving capturing another Enigma machine to see what those changes were. The most difficult change to break was the addition of a 4th rotor to the Navy Enigma, which could only be handled by the addition of a high speed vacuum tube electronic box to the side of the electromechanical Bombe machine.
