Enigma, deciphered victory
|
 |
|
|
A great exhibition about the groundbreaking work of the Poles,
when breaking the Enigma
codes during WWII. Although most people will
be familiar with the British (and later American) codebreaking efforts
during the war, the important role of the Poles is often forgotten.
Between 3 July and 14 September 2011, the Polish codebreakers were the
highlights of the exhibition
Enigma, deciphered victory
in the General Maczek Museum in Breda (Netherlands).

Between 15 October 2010 and 19 January 2011 we helped
Scryption in Tilburg (Netherlands) organising an
exhibition on how cryptography is used to 'buy' time.
The exhibition was a close co-operation between Scryption,
Crypto Museum and the AIVD.
Many historical cipher machines were on public display, such as Enigma,
Fialka and Hagelin, but also some rare machines such as the American
KL-7 and a full range of Hagelin machines.

On 5 and 6 September 2009, the annual Enigma Reunion was held at
Bletchley Park in the UK.
This year was special, as it was the 70th anniversary of the
arrival of top codebreakers Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman
at Bletchley Park on 4 September 1939.
To commemorate the anniversary, the largest-ever exhibition
of Enigma
and other cipher machines was held

On 5 November 2003 the Enigma-E self build kit was first
introduced at Bletchley Park. The introduction coincided
