The German Military code during World War II. The Germans thought that it couldn't be broken.

The Enigma code
enigma was the German code making machine not code breaking ultra was the code breaking machine
Arthur Scherbius invented the Enigma machine, filing his first patent in 1918. Its original intended use was for secure business communication.In the late 1920s the German military ordered two differently modified versions of Enigma machines for the Navy and Army that were intended to be more secure than the standard commercial Enigma machines.
El código Enigma in Spanish is "the Enigma code" in English.
It was called the Enigma.
The Enigma was used to decode the Enigma. The British decoders at Bletchley Park during the Second World War used brain-power to try to crack the German codes. That is, until they got their hands on an Enigma machine which the Polish had captured.
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.
Enigma: An seemingly unbreakable code that originated in WWII when the German's used it for communication. It now means just that - a difficult code to decipher or a mystery. "His body language baffled me, I couldn't figure it out - He was a walking enigma."
Turing did not work on the Enigma, it was a German machine. However he did do some work on the British Bombe machines that were used to crack the Enigma machine cipher. Later he saw Tommy Flowers' Colossus electronic computer, designed to crack the German Lorenz SZ40/42 machine cipher. This inspired him after the end of the war to begin work on programmable electronic computers.
