I’ve read several books about breaking the Enigma...Alan Turing was the genius behind Bletchley Park..

The strangest thing about the German’s use of the Enigma machine was that it was commercially available for years before WW2. Why they thought it could possibly be “unbreakable” is a mystery to me. OTOH, the Allies, particularly the Brits, knew every move the Germans were going to make, especially after about mid-1941, and they still nearly lost the war.
