Speaking of Enigmas.......I sure as hell hope Eric L. is wrong, and the 3G tornado spins a little sooner than 5 years out. Apollo

"the machine was given to the British by some Poles who got it from the Germans." "My understanding from the book, as I vaguely recall, was that the British got the Enigma, during a raid on a German sub/boat at an Egyptian port." I believe that you are referring to the rotor settings, which once were taken from a German sub. The machine itself was obtained from the Poles, via the French (?), as Lindy said. The enigma had internal rotors that could be switched around making decoding very, very difficult (but not impossible). - Fred
