I saw a documentary on the germans' cryptography machine, and how the english cracked the code, then the germans figured out the code had been cracked and built an even more elaborate machine, and then the english cracked it again... I think it was PBS. Can anyone help me find this darn video? It was probably late 90s, because I recorded it off TV with a VHS tape.

  1. AVORAK is that related to Dvorak, a keyboard layout designed by Dr Dvorak and patented in 1936 (in other words too late to be adopted by Britain or Germany)?

    Of course the Enigma machine wasn't QWERTY either, it was the German standard QWERTZ.


  2. There is a movie that was made with Harvey Keitel named U-571  I believe that is all about it.

  3. You can easily GOOGLE for the Enigma Machine... When you can answer just ONE question about it... I'll tell you anything you want to know about that old Crypto Machine... and that is:... Since the BRITISH invented it and developed it... then WHY does it have a QWERTY  keyboard and not the British standard AVORAK keyboard... when you have the answer to THAT... come back and see me and I'll tell everything you ever wanted to know about code machines.
