Now You Can Build Your Own Enigma Machine for Free!

That's right, now you too can code and decode messages just like Fregattenkapit?§n Otto Kretschmer, Ace of the U-99!

But there's more! It's all for no money whatsoever!!

You just print a PDF file, cut it out and CRYPTO!!! You have Enigma!!!! !!!!!

Okay, it's probably not that cool and I'm pretty sure somebody here has seen this before. Lord knows I've never been the first one to find anything truly cool, but I played with this thing for hours this afternoon. It's pretty tricky, but it works and I found it enlightening. I never really understood how the encryption scheme in the Enigma worked. It's no wonder the Germans had such confidence in it.

I just thought I'd mention it.

By all means share. I was not familiar with the group of which you speak, but sure enough there they are. Are you a member?

Yeah but if it's just paper it might get ruined from the water in my U-boat.

Print it on cardstock and laminate it. It works guaranteed!

Wow, I'm still amazed that such a thing that caused so much trouble in Bletchley Park could be condensed onto a single sheet of paper.

Math is weird like that, I guess.

This is really cool! I love things like this.

And not at all disappointing like the movie "Enigma"
