Want your own piece of history? Why not build an Enigma machine. This Enigma kit is not a true reproduction since it uses modern components. For example LEDs replace the original lamps, but the operation is the same! “During WWII the German army used Enigma coding machines to encipher most of their radio messages. At the time the Germans were convinced that this machine was unbreakable, but recent history has proven them wrong. For most of the war, the Poles, and later the British and Americans managed to decipher the German messages which is now believed to have shortened the war by some 2 years. ”

[...] No, not the dire Jim Carrey character, more like the ace German code machine. Ever wanted to beat ‘Ze Germans’ at their own game, take a look at this electronic version of the Enigma machine. And not to forget, this week only has four days, and so does next week, I wish it could be Easter every other week! [...]

[...] No hace falta ser el rubicundo presentador de Bricomanía para pasárselo teta un domingo. Olvídate de los apaños con el taladro, la masilla y el esmalte. Mucho menos tóxico y más excitante es dedicar un fin de semana a crear una auténtica máquina Enigma, el cúlmen de la criptografía clásica. Tampoco te mancharás las manos, ni tendrás que tener el pulso como un relojero suizo, porque se trata de la versión electrónica. Engranajes y poleas de precisión han sido sustituídas por FPGA y LEDs. El kit vale unos 130€ y puedes adquirirlo físicamente en las tiendas de los museos de criptografía de Bletchley Park (UK) y en el museo Jan Corver (Holanda). Afortunadamente, también te lo mandan a casa si vives en cualquier otro rincón del mundo. [...]
