The Enigma was evolved during the pre-war and war time from 3-wheel model, up to a 6-wheel model. As such there were some independent research of the codes, and broken independently by more scientists. The earliest one was a Polish scientist, then UK and later in USA was invented a faster and more efficient method in breaking the Enigma class codes. So there wasn't an only one team and only a single leading scientist. The enigma machine had its different incarnations too.
All methods relied on the bruteforce attack and known plaintext attack.

The 'enigma' coder.
Enigma messages were sent by radio telegram between different german Army units, german Army command and german Army units, german Naval command and german Navy ships (especially u-Boats), german u-Boats in "wolf packs", Gestapo headquarters and Gestapo offices, some german police organizations. The german Navy and the Gestapo used specially modified Enigma machines for greater security than the standard Enigma machine used everywhere else. German High Command messages were sent using a different machine and sent by radio teletype instead of radio telegram. These machines were much heavier and less portable than Enigma machines but were much faster, so they operated from fixed locations unlike Enigma machines which often moved rapidly in combat. Messages to and from german spies did not use machine cyphers but were usually sent by radio telegram.
Alan Turing played a pivotal role in cracking the German Enigma code during World War II by developing the Bombe machine, which automated the process of deciphering the encrypted messages. He and his team analyzed the structure of the Enigma machine and identified patterns in the way it encoded messages. Turing's insights into permutations and statistical analysis enabled them to reduce the number of possible settings for the Enigma, leading to successful decryptions that significantly aided the Allied war effort. His contributions laid the groundwork for modern computer science and cryptography.
The Enigma was a German code generating machine.
It was called The Enigma Machine for German encoding.
Enigma was used for war. Enigma was first invented by German engineer in World War 1.

enigma
The 'enigma' coder.
The principal German code in WW2 was known as 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.
It was the Enigma machine.
Enigma was the German coding machine. JN-25 was the Japanese Naval code.
The German Military code during World War II. The Germans thought that it couldn't be broken.
The Enigma code was created by the German engineer Arthur Scherbius, who designed the Enigma machine in the early 1920s. This electromechanical device was used by the German military and other organizations to encrypt messages during World War II. The complexity of the Enigma code made it a significant challenge for Allied cryptanalysts, but it was ultimately cracked by teams including those led by mathematician Alan Turing at Bletchley Park.
