I don't now does someone else
It was a German machine used to encode & decode messages. See pictures at wikipedia. I copied from wikipedia:
An Enigma machine is any of a family of related electro-mechanical rotor cipher machines used for the encryption and decryption of secret messages. Enigma was invented by German engineer Arthur Scherbius at the end of World War I.[1] The early models were used commercially from the early 1920s, and adopted by military and government services of several countries - most notably by Nazi Germany before and during World War II.[2] Several different Enigma models were produced, but the German military models are the ones most commonly discussed.
In December 1932, the Polish Cipher Bureau first broke Germany's military Enigma ciphers. Five weeks before the outbreak of World War II, on 25 July 1939, in Warsaw, they presented their Enigma-decryption techniques and equipment to French and British military intelligence.[3][4] Thanks to this,[5] during the war, Allied codebreakers were able to decrypt a vast number of messages that had been enciphered using the Enigma. The intelligence gleaned from this source, codenamed "Ultra" by the British, was a substantial aid to the Allied war effort.[6]
The exact influence of Ultra on the course of the war is debated; an oft-repeated assessment is that decryption of German ciphers hastened the end of the European war by two years.[7][8][9] Winston Churchill told Britain's King George VI after World War II: "It was thanks to Ultra that we won the war."[10]
Although Enigma had some cryptographic weaknesses, in practice it was only in combination with procedural flaws, operator mistakes, captured key tables and hardware, that Allied cryptanalysts were able to be so successful.[11]
It was called the Enigma.
No.
Perhaps you're thinking of the Bombe.
The Enigma machine. Several nations used this message coding device; the Nazis' use of it just gets discussed more.
enigma
It was called The Enigma Machine for German encoding.
enigma was the German code making machine not code breaking ultra was the code breaking machine
as the english needed it to work out what the germans where comunicating to eachother.
It was called the Enigma.
it is a brown wooden box with a typing machine inside, this would break the enigma code, the Germans used this machine in WW2

an enigma machine
They were used for enigma machines. Enigma machine is a way German people sent messages in codes. A Enigma machine holds loads of codes. Enigma machines are like laptops but with massive buttons and in code form
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.
Alan Turing didn't invent Enigma you complete inbacile. He cracked the code that the Germans were sending with the Enigma machine once. And it wasn't just his it was a whole team of people.

Germany used an enigma machine to encipher and decipher messages before World War II, and with military operations during the War.
