Cryptanalysis of the Enigma bombes were, however, very fast and the most successful. They were extensively used by Bletchley Park over teleprinter links (using the Combined Cipher Machine) to OP-20-G for both 3-rotor and 4-rotor jobs. Although the German army, SS, police, and railway all used Enigma with similar procedures, it was the "Luftwaffe" (Air Force) that was the first and most fruitful source of Ultra intelligence during the war. The messages were decrypted in Hut 6 at Bletchley Park and turned into intelligence reports in Hut 3. The network code-named ‘Red’ at Bletchley Park was broken regularly and quickly from 22 May 1940
Cryptanalysis of the Enigma Cryptanalysis of the Enigma Cryptanalysis of the Enigma ciphering system enabled the western Allies in World War II to read substantial amounts of Morse-coded radio communications of the Axis powers that had been enciphered using Enigma machines. This yielded military intelligence which, along with that from other decrypted Axis radio and teleprinter transmissions, was given the codename "Ultra". This was considered by western Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower to have been "decisive" to the Allied victory. The Enigma machines were a family of portable cipher machines with rotor scramblers. Good operating procedures, properly enforced, would have made the plugboard
