During WWII, Allied codebreakers at Bletchley Park, led by Alan Turing, cracked Germany's Enigma machine ciphers using early computers like the Bombe. This Ultra intelligence revealed U-boat positions, troop movements, and battle plans, shortening the war by years and saving millions of lives—key to victories like D-Day and the Battle of the Atlantic. #wwii #intelligence #epichistory | Epic History TV

During WWII, Alan Turing designed the Bombe at Bletchley Park to break Germany's Enigma cipher machine. This electromechanical device simulated thousands of Enigma settings, using known plaintext "cribs" to deduce daily keys. It decrypted vital Nazi communications, giving Allies a strategic edge and shortening the war by years. #wwii #historyfacts #epichistory | Epic History TV
