Breaking The Engma Code Essay

It was the middle of the second world war, and Britain could intercept messages sent throughout Germany that could prevent future battles. Though there was one hiccup: Britain couldn't understand them. The messages were encrypted in such an advanced way that they couldn’t be decrypted. It didn't matter that they could intercept the messages because they didn't mean anything to them as they were. The Enigma Code held the secret to winning the war, it being able to withhold information about future battles and plans, at least until the code was cracked. A group of British mathematicians headed by Alan Turing figured out and decrypted the
Enigma code. The breaking of the Enigma was the biggest turning point of WWII against the
Axis Powers because

Some historians believe that the cracking of Enigma was the single most important victory by the Allied powers during WWII, simply due to the central powers using information that they decoded from the Germans to prevent many attacks with the constant knowledge of the Nazi’s next moves (Brilliant). The information from the enigma’s decoding stopped many of the Axis power’s efforts to wage war further and allowed for the central powers
Moon 2 to have a major advantage in terms of preparation and became better as the defending side of the war. A report on the Enigma’s decipherment from the team of Alan Turing on the 1st of
November 1939 states that new methods and key components “… will enable us to solve all further messages for that day at once” (Turing). The Bombe, which was the name for the decyphering machine that Turing’s team used was so efficient that it was able to solve and decode many if not all messages sent, messages that could hold vital information about the war that when properly prepared could stop an attack and saves hundreds of lives in the process.
The decryption of the enigma was the biggest turning point as it revealed

Alan Turing and his team's efforts were more important in the war effort than even they knew while making the Bombe.
The breaking of the enigma code was the biggest turning point in WWII war since the information gained prevented many battles and attacks from doing even more damage and casualties through good preparation. Its importance in the war is also attributed to how hidden the messages were. The skill of Alan Turing and his team to be able to decode many if not all of the messages sent gave the central powers a huge advantage in terms of defense and tactical knowledge that saved many lives and gave them more ground to stand on in WWII. The breaking of the enigma code made to secretly send messages and information about their efforts to wage war was the largest game changer in the second world war because it prevented many battles, attacks, and death to occur while also giving the central powers a better defense during the war to give time for their attacks. The enigma code being decrypted also has some impacts outside of the war itself and in the modern era. Alan Turing’s findings revolutionized code-making and solving in history. The enigma in WWII led to many present-world uses
