Enigma M3
Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la historia del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informatica i els ordinadors.
Vista d'una maquina Enigma model M3 de 3 rotors, emprada per l'exèrcit alemany. Posteriorment la Kriegsmarine la complicaria amb un quart rotor (model M4).

========================================================
Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).
The Enigma M3 is the famous german cypher machine, with 3 rotors (later a 4 rotor, M4 model, was produced for the Kriegsmarine). Although it produced literally millions of millions of possible combinations, the codebreakers cracked it, with their brains, the Bombe machine, and a lof of hard work.
Here you have more information about Enigma, and a wonderful emulator program:
