A historical look at decrypting the Enigma

[QUOTE="Vanadium 50, post: 6815107, member: 110252"] I still find it remarkable that at a time when electronic computers were emerging - the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atanasoff%E2%80%93Berry_computer']ABC machine[/URL] was in 1942 - nobody thought to adapt them to decryption. I am also starting to suspect that while the security of the repeated substitution was low, both sides considered it to be high. It doesn't seem that anyone considered that an output that isn't plaintext but just a simple substitution cipher was justy one quick step away from full decryption. Not the answer, but almost as good as the answer. [/QUOTE]
