During the Second World War, the Germans used what they thought to be an uncrackable encryption system.
It was a really good encryption system, and for the longest time, the Allies had a difficult time cracking the code.
However, thanks to brilliant code breakers, a powerful computing machine, and German mistakes, the British were able to break the code.
Learn more about the Enigma Code and how it was broken on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
