Of all the types of equipment that you wouldn’t want to leave lying around, military equipment is the most hazardous. It can be dangerous in the right hands, let alone in the wrong ones! Unfortunately, because of the nature of war and combat, lost or broken military equipment ends up strewn all over the planet. Sometimes it even gets left behind even if there’s nothing wrong with it! Unexpected military finds can happen anywhere, as you’re about to find out in this video.

[@Monkeyz60593]

They broke the enigma code in 1932. Later in 1939 Germans upgraded the enigma coding which the 3 poles couldn't break anymore because it required further investments. Because of that they shared their discovery and knowledge with France and Great Britain. So Poles were the first to discover how to break anigma codes, but the English were those who broke German enigma codes during ww2.

[@johnsonbeats8462]

Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski, employees of the Cipher Bureau of the General Staff of the Polish Army, were the first to break the code in December 1932. They developed very effective methods of breaking the Enigma code, thanks to which it took only 15 minutes to determine the daily machine code. Unfortunately, in 1939, the Germans changed the coding. This meant for the Polish team the initiation of further, very costly activities. Additionally, the investments turned out to exceed the budget and it was decided to hand over Polish devices and documentation to the British and French.

Actually we were supplying Britain with loads of guns, ammunition, artillery, armored vehicles including tanks and even aircraft as well as lots of contract “military” ships, they did issue the Thompson, it was The desired firearm except it was expensive to manufacture and the grease gun was a fraction of the price. I don’t think people realize that in WW2 everyone was manufacturing more than could be supported by worldwide mining/refinery supplies could handle. Do you know how much metal ore it takes to make the 12,000 tons of steel for a single destroyer? There were only a few hundred new cars manufactured from 1941-1946 in the us because the govt controlled metal supply and were using it all, and pre war 1937-1941 they were cranking out military supplies like that was the only thing to do

The Americans dumping their machine is actually helping more than polluting. The reason is because these wreckage are usually cleaned (removed engines etc) before getting dumped. The aquatic life usually uses these wreckage as homes. (I'm not sure if this is true though since I found this information 2-3 years ago and it's pretty vague)

Not in the 40s at that point in time when an oil change was done on your car they used to dig holes in the ground put some gravel in and dump the used oil right into the ground and burying cars and other trash was also "normal"

For the Enigma code, The Germans didn't use the same style of code for the whole War. They used a 3 dial code then after the battle of the pacific they added another dial turning turning it into a 4 dial months later. The reason was in the Pacific the US destroyed a German U boat that left the enigma coded machine. and then broke the code. They used it to defend against a attack called "wolf pack" I think.

Alan Touring didnt break the code, he played an important role in breaking it. Way more people worked on breaking it.
