Hi Chaps, I found this: Paper Enigma Machine Print your own Enigma Machine, go on you know that you want one! Cheers Soren
There's also a very good Enigma emulator here: Enigma Simulator Great fun, just need some code books and original messages original messages to decode now...

Dirk's simulators are very good indeed, but I prefer my M4 machine. http://www.********.co.uk/m4/index.htlm Could never work out how to use the paper model. Plenty of original messages around, follow the links on my website. geoff
Isnt the internet a wonderful place??? What a novel idea. We could set up our own virtual "Bletchley Park" right here on the forums!

zxcvm pqdht sjkll mqwev qnghj czhty jlqpu Ah the first encrypted message has arrived. Soren??? Where are you???
I like this aspect of the war,however I have wasted too many brain cells in the past to ever understand how they work!
There's a rather interesting section about Enigma and Ultra in the After The Battle volumes on D-Day. I posted a article from it on here. Link below Enigma/Ultra Cheers Andy
There are several good Enigma emulators and simulators, some of which show all the connections and wheel movements as you go. There are original messages with the code settings for that day so you can try some decoding There's even a program that produces your own code sheets for a month or year so you can send messages between friends. You can also buy the plans to build your own electronic Enigma machine. With all that to play with, I am not too sure why you would want to make one out of paper..... unless you want to plat during a power cut.

I now remember visiting your site a few years back and then losing the link. You'll probably know the answer to this. I was thinking of messages that still need to be decrypted. My impression was that at war's end, everything was broken down at BP and that there were thousands of messages on file which were never decrypted. Is that so? Could there still be a wealth of messages locked away in the archives awaiting decryption?

Could there still be a wealth of messages locked away in the archives awaiting decryption? A few keys were unbroken, some Gestapo, I think and one of the army keys (Greenshank, possibly) however its unlikely that raw material was ever allowed out. None at NA, although they have decodes but no original intercepts. The ones we found were a lucky find in Germany, a batch of about 700, it would have been a serious offense for someone to hoard these.
You can also buy the plans to build your own electronic Enigma machine. With all that to play with, I am not too sure why you would want to make one out of paper..... unless you want to plat during a power cut. It's sold as a kit of electronic bits, make your own box. Here's one I made earlier: Enigma-E Runs OK in power cuts.
