The British personnel of HMS Bulldog captured the Enigma Machine from the U-110 in
the North Atlantic on May 9th 1941 long before the United States entered the war.
Poland was the first to decipher the code,and showed the British how to decipher it.
In the film U-571 it was all fictitious. The U-571 was never involved in any such events.

Who rescued the enigma machine?
I believe crew members off a British destroyer that had disabled a German submarine during WW2. The German crew was kept in isolation to insure the Germans did not learn that an enigma code machine had been captured by the British..........
What British machine decoded the German Enigma machine?
Perhaps you're thinking of the Bombe.
What was the impact of Alan Turing's enigma machine?
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.
What was the name of the German code-making machine in ww2?
It was called the Enigma.
Can you buy an enigma machine?
I think they are rare indeed, museum pieces, there was an event a couple of years ago unwittingly involving British TV personality Peremy Paxman, whether this is because he is a friend of 'Enigma' author Robert Harris.

Was the Enigma machine British?
The Enigma was the Germans' and the Ultra was the British machine. Then the British from HMS Bulldog were the first to capture the Enigma Machine from the U-110 in the North Atlantic on May 9th 1941. Then Poland helped the British to decipher the code.
What computer used to decode 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.
What British machine decoded the German Enigma machine?

Sentence for enigma?
His disappearance is an enigma that has given rise to speculation
How did the British find out German Secrets?
The British at Bletchley Park broke the codes used by the German encryption machine known as "Enigma".
What did the Germans use to communicate with their submarines?
The German ENIGMA coding machine was used to communicate orders from Germany to its deployed U-boats. Early in WWII, the failure to break the ENIGMA code helped lead to significant losses in the Battle of the Atlantic. The Germans believed that the ENIGMA code was unbreakable. The first break for the Allies came when the British destroyer HMS Bulldog successfully boarded and captured an ENIGMA machine and its code books from the German U-boat U-110 in May, 1941. The capture of the ENIGMA machine significantly aided efforts by cryptoanalysts at Bletchley Park in England, where the main British code decryption efforts were being conducted. Eventually Bletchley Park was able to successfully build a computer that would decode all German Naval communications. This feat, as well as the Allies' success at keeping the knowledge from the Germans that ENIGMA had been captured and broken, led to the major downturn for German U-boats in the Atlantic. By the end of the war, German U-boat losses were 70%.
What is the name of the German encrypting machine used in World War 2?
It was called The Enigma Machine for German encoding.

What was the cipher machine used by the Germans for radio communication?
I don't know what the Germans called it, but when the British got ahold of it and began trying to decrypt it, they called it the "Enigma machine".
Who invented ww2 code breaking machine-enigma?
enigma was the German code making machine not code breaking ultra was the code breaking machine
