This website is about Peter Twinn, the codebreaker. Peter Frank George Twinn is British codebreaker. He was a middle of postgraduate studying Physics, and he saw goverment advertisement. It was looking for mathematicians, but unclear about what else was involved. He went to work, and he has high salary. Peter became the assistant to Alfred Dilwyn Knox who was the head of codebreakers at GC&CS. Twinn was the first mathematicians work on Enigma cipher. The Enigma machine was a very complicated machine, and it had a keyboard. It like a typewritter.-----------------------------------------------
I find this great website about Enigma machine, and it has many informations. The Enigma machine invented in 1918 by Arthur Scherbius. The idea is number of substitutions one after the other.During 1920, German military increased. Pole felt threatened, they had code breaking. They use Intelligence intercept enemy Radio transmissions with new cipher system which finally know it's coming form Enigma.Polish Intelligence break the Enigma traffic. The goverment try a mathematical approach, and they show mathematical skills can attack the problem to find the key of message.

The good video of code breaker, it has many info of it.
=======================================
Photo 1:The thing beside man is Enigma machine, it like a typewritter.
Photo 2:It's a figure of Enigma machine, the cipher is like the number of substitutions .

Something you found are similar to mine. You've found a code breaker during WW2. I found one called Harry Beckhough. The second website you found is great, too. I also found a " Binary Code" .
A good post and a great video indeed, with lots of good info as you said. This is the second week in a row you have done A work. Keep up the great work, Hank!
