  • informing him of plans to invade the United States. On being notified of these plans, officials in Washington were understandably perturbed, and hastened to effect the entry of the US into the war.
  • the German defence establishment was eager to improve its compromised communications system, and recognised
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • the potential of a signalling device that had originally been made for the business market.
  • Enigma allowed an operator to type in a message, then scramble it by means of three to five notched wheels, or rotors, which displayed different letters of the alphabet. The receiver needed to know the exact settings of these rotors in order to reconstitute the coded text. Over the years the basic machine became more complicated, as German code experts added plugs with electronic circuits.

      How it was used, could become one of our slide
  • Dr Arthur Scherbius had developed his 'Enigma' machine, capable of transcribing coded information, in the hope of interesting commercial companies in secure communications
  • Britain and her allies first understood the problems posed by this machine in 1931, when a German spy, Hans Thilo Schmidt, allowed his French spymasters to photograph stolen Enigma operating manuals, although neither French nor British cryptanalysts could at first make headway in breaking the Enigma cipher.

    2 people die per min from conflict..that means that in an hour 120 die 60 min x 2 = 120 people/ hour and 4,320 in a day 180 x 24 = 4,320 per day

Trench foot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 4 views

  •  
    This is a cool information about the trench foot and shows the condition of the solider's in the trench
  •  
    Uhh. This is really disturbing but is very detailed. Did you read through the entire thing? Because I don't think I will be able to stand looking at the pictures for an extended period of time. One thing I found interesting is that it says how to prevent Trench Foot which could be usefull (?).
  •  
    looks like there's a lot of information.... and picture, but just be careful i know a lot of people who edit and put false things in wiki pages
