104. alan turing: cracking the enigma code (ks3)
Discover how Alan Turing and his team built the Bombe machine to crack the Enigma code, helping to end the Second World War.
During the Second World War, secret messages were encrypted using a seemingly unbreakable machine called Enigma. The challenge to crack it fell to Alan Turing and a brilliant team at Bletchley Park. In this lesson, we will uncover how Turing designed the Bombe, an early computational machine that cracked the code and ultimately changed the course of history.
