Best Answer

It was a device developed pre WWII by German industry to code communications to protect trade secrets. It looks like a typewriter with dials at the top that can be set to effect the coding of message as it is typed in. The capture of the Enigma device from a partially sunk submarine of Coast of Africa was a big big deal for allies who used the device to uncode German communique unbeknownst to the Germans.
