Was the Enigma designed strictly for military purposes? In fact, when Arthur Scherbius took over the development of Hugo Koch’s electronic enciphering machine, the Enigma, in the 1920s, he expected it to be used for secure communications in business. The German Navy was the first to pull the machine off the civilian market and adapt it for military use. The enciphering machine produced code that was based on a substitution cipher. Although the Enigma’s code was considered impossible to crack, Polish and British mathematicians did just that early in the 1930s, helping to bring World War II to a speedier end. On May 9, 1941, British sailors captured a German submarine, the U-110, including the Enigma machine that was on board and documents that explained how the machine worked.
