Lorenz SZ-42

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.

 

Aquesta maquina xifradora alemana, molt més complicada però amb menys fama que la Enigma, era emprada per les comunicacions més importants, entre Hitler i els seus comandaments d'exèrcits. En teoria, era quasi imposible de 'petar', però els anglesos ho feren possible, i de pasada inventaren els ordinadors! Mireu la foto del Colossus aquí al costat.

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).

 

This electromechanical cypher machine was used by Hitler and his generals for the most important messages. It is much more complex and difficult to crack than the much more famous Enigma machine, but even this one was in the end broken by the people in Bletchley Park. And as a side-product, they invented the computers! Look at my picture of the Colossus for more info.
