The easiest way to explain the mechanics is to follow the journey of a single letter from keyboard to lampboard.]]> 2017-10-30 17:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretho2501/dr6bx5udzyz0/wish/201844810 Was it leak-proof? margaretho2501 https://padlet.com/margaretho2501/dr6bx5udzyz0/wish/201847012 In 1932, a group of cryptologists from the Polish Cipher Bureau found three ways to decipher Enigma. 
Poles handed their findings to British and French intelligence in 1939.
Polish government passes resolution in honour of their three code-cracking mathematicians

War did not stop Alan Turing being an individualist. In 1940 he buried some silver bars near Shenley. In 1944, 1946 and 1952 he tried to find them and failed. No-one knows what happened to his buried treasure!]]> 2017-10-30 17:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/margaretho2501/dr6bx5udzyz0/wish/201856135
