[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7735927, member: 86168"] for 6 mnths, then it had to be 'broken' on a daily basis, or not, and much information, when broken, was to late for effective use. It was the development of collasis, that speeded up the work of solving the code, by computing the figures nearly instantly. The enigma machine/code book, was for a 3 rota enigma, which was rendered useless, when a, the germans changed the settings, which they regularly did, and when the machine was updated to a four rota. The basic working 'method' of the machine, was known from 39, as the polish brought the design over here. You are correct, it was unbreakable, without the code book, when that changed, it was virtually unbreakable, unless someone got very lucky, in the manual system, until the computer made it possible to 'check' the random letters, by the thousands per minute. Credit is definitely due to those that worked, and succeeded in solving the enigma. There was another form of code breaking, which in it's own right, was nearly as important as the enigma, which was much simpler, monitoring all the radio 'chatter', which built up a record of where each and every german unit was, it's state of readiness, it's equipment, the number of troops, and where and when, it was moved, ordinary day to day, simple orders, were not sent by enigma. Interestingly, both systems are still in use today, although the equipment is rather 'newer'. [/QUOTE]
