      What is it? 
  • 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

  • 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.

The Battle of Verdun - 1 views

  • On June 1st, Germany launched a massive attack at Verdun. By June 23rd, they got within 2.5 miles from Verdun itself - but this attack faltered as the German army itself had given all that it had and it could give no more. On June 24th, the bombardment on the Somme could be heard at Verdun and with days, the battle at the Somme was to dominate military planners on the Western Front.  By the end of October 1916, the French had re-captured the two forts at Vaux and Douaumont but the surrounding land where the battle had been fought since February was a wasteland. The battle at Verdun continued to December - ironically after the Somme conflict was considered to have ended.

    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 (?).
