Enigma project cracks second code
Online codebreaking enthusiasts have managed to crack another previously uncracked message from World War II.
Thousands of users around the world have joined the M4 Project, using spare computing power to crack the codes of the famous enigma machine that was used by the Germans.
The first code was cracked on 20 February, and was confirmed as a message from the commander of a German U-boat, Kapitanleutenant Hartwig Looks.
The second resolved code was less dramatic than the first, which detailed the aftermath of a clash with an Allied vessel and is little more than a status report and a confirmation of position.
