Great Video.

I am amazed that they can get the device to work at all after all of these years.

It was a tremendous accomplishment for its day.

Though I have to point out, it was the Polish Intelligence people who first cracked the Enigma codes. They gave the British a tremendous head start in 1939.

Just a thought,

PS, I used to load paper tape into computers in my early years. I can still hear the chatter of the ASR 33 paper tape reader. The sound will haunt me for ever. Chunka chunka chunka chunka.
