Kriegsmarine Enigma Codebooks
 

Hi Folks,

For those who are interested in background information on working with the Enigma cipher machine, I recently added some Kriegsmarine procedures and original Enigma code books and code sheets, Schlussel M TRITON, Kenngruppenbuch, Schlussel Henno (bigram tables) and added more information about Kurzsignalen, the Wetterkurzschlussel, Kenngruppenheft etc.

Thanks and really interesting site btw :up:

Hi defcom :sunny: Kool site. :up: I remember someone had a downloadable virtual enigma machine you could use to send messages with.

You could change rotors (I think thats what they were ) and hear the keys when you typed.

I reformated my rig and forgot to burn it to cd. :damn: :damn:

I hope someone was smarter than me and still has it. :yep:

Hi Firewall,

Thanks for the compliments. The sim you're talking about is written by me :D. You can find him on my website:

Just download and have fun with it (and if you like it, pop by in the guestbook ;) )

Thx defcom :up: Will do. And this time I will burn to cd. :yep:

IMHO this is a gotta have for online playing like Teamspeak is for online Flight sims.

Or maybe LAN playing and someone is BdU.

I don't know how it would work as I have never played online or LAN.

Just a thought. :D

edit : Just d\l it and played with it for a bit. FUN!!! :yep:

Defcom, that's a very interesting site you have there. I've added it to my favourites and will be having a good look through. Excellent stuff ! :)

wow, that's actually yours? I stumbled over it years ago and was really impressed. Fun toy, we even used it for fun in some emails (but actually prefer gpg ;)

Nice work either way!

cheers,

I have that download and also the codebook for it to. Its from Operation Spinnetz.

only slightly off topic.

If anyone is unlucky enough to be in our nation's capitol, be sure to check out the Spy Museum. They have a very nice computer display of how the Enigma worked. Most interesting. They also have an old 3 rotor no punchboard Enigma there also but the computer display is what is cooleo.

I actually operated an Enigma Replica once. A crypto guru brought it for some training stuff. Very fascinating indeed. Maybe it's a fetish for those mechanical things. My father still had one of these:

I loved it since I was 3 or so :)

Dirk! Funny meeting you here. This is, in fact, the site that brought me to yours and the wonderful enigma sim you've made (and others). I can't even remember now what post or who posted, maybe it was you after all, hah.

Effigy (from recent emails via your site). :)

Thx for the link :up: I love things like that.

Imagine comeing up with that while in a concentration camp. AMAZEING !!!!

If you like the real stuff, I have a page describing the breaking of a real message from U-264, called the M4 Project by Stefan Krah. The page isn't new, but I recently added a new link to an interview with Kpt Lt Hartwig Looks, and with others, about the attack on convoy ONS-5. It was great to have written a page about a U-boat kapt and then discover an actual interview.

The page: http://users.telenet.be/d.rijmenants/en/m4project.htm

The video link is at the bottom (off-site links) but it's really worth reading the article and the story of U-264 first.

Very nice :up:

Thanx for the links, and especially for the simulator!

Good Luck :arrgh!:

Defcom,

Thanks for the links, and welcome. I'm glad to see you here. I've been using your simulator since the Silent Hunter 2 days, and have enjoyed it.

By the way I'm currently looking for a simple morse code generator as well. It should allow to code text into symbols and uncode symbols into text, as well as it should be able to play morse sounds while in progress. However no special abilities for training is necessary. Simple procedures to code/uncode would do fine.

Made a wide search on google with no luck so far. Just plenty of generators online but I would preffer downloading it like software for often usage..
If somebody has an idea where could I find it, would be appreciated a lot..

You already have such a decoder, sitting in your head.

Morse: Learn it, know it, use it.

It's the perfect form of communication, because it is pretty much medium independent. It can be written, transmitted via radio or audio, or by light, or by banging on pipes, whatever.

Even my 4 year old is starting to learn it.

For those who are to lazy to learn it, you might want to look at this:

http://morsecode.scphillips.com/cgi-bin/morse.cgi

It does all Contact asked for, even the audio part.

Oh, but it's not downloadable. But I guess you can get the CGI if you ask them. It's pretty simple code actually. You could do it in a few perl lines...

I'm in white jelous for your kid :D It will be absolutely easier for him/her to learn it since children always gets faster into new things than adults. As for me I don't realy need to know morse, cuz basicly I woun't be using it much anywhere. I thought of using morse code with addition to Enigma as it was in real life. But I don't want to learn everything by heart u know :) Well.. Not today definitely..

Of course I would consider of learning this "multiplication table" again if it would be possible to create a mod for SH3 or in the Future release of GWX4 to use Morse and/or Enigma like an optional feature. In this way learning new things would bring much more motivation :up:
