Would it help if we had a separate downloads area @val  I mean a proper file area, worked through Amazon S3? We had it before, I can switch it on again.

Brilliant Links Val, many Thanks,

Full of some great information..I wish I could get hold of a 5 rotor Enigma machine......Maybe someone on a European site that they don't know what they are selling. Or when I go to St Nazaire and have a poke about, there just might be one in a cupboard with the pink booklet.???  YEH I will be Lucky, I'm just a dreamer!

Best to you....Ian/ Desert Rat.

@Desert Rat, while you are searching your own Enigma, play with this simulation and send me a coded message.

Thanks Val,

Cant do that ....do you think I am as clever as Alan Turing?.With over 100, 000, 000 combinations..That's just for a 4 rotor enigma, not the U - Boat 5 rotor..Do you want to give me brain ache?

thanks anyway

@Desert Rat, U-Boot Enigma was a 4 rotor machine, not 5.

[Desert Rat]

Thanks Val.....sorry I knew I got it wrong....U-Boat x4 rotors!

Best to you....Ian

If you are interested, read the simulator manual, there's lot of interesting

background how Germans operated those machines, sample messages etc.
