X-WR-CALDESC:15 July 1928: The ENIGMA was introduced into the German Army a
 nd used for the transmission of coded messages. The Enigma was invented by
  Arthur Scherbius at the end of World War I and the machine was used comme
 rcially beginning in the early 1920s. The military version of the Enigma w
 as a modified form of the commercial model to make it more secure. The Eni
 gma became the workhorse of the German military services\, used to encrypt
  tens of thousands of tactical messages throughout World War II. German mi
 litary messages enciphered on the Enigma machine were first broken by the 
 Polish Cipher Bureau\, beginning in December 1932.\n\nThe number of mathem
 atical permutations for every keystroke is astronomical. Allied forces wer
 e able to read most of the Enigma encrypted messages throughout most of th
 e war as a result of the tireless effort of many Allied cryptologists. It 
 is an electromechanical machine that used a combination of wired rotors an
