The Nazi code was a secret system of encryption used by the Nazis to communicate with their military forces during World War II. The code was based on a machine called the Enigma, which scrambled the letters of a message according to a complex set of rules. The code was different every day and was considered unbreakable by the Nazis.

However, a team of British and Polish cryptologists, led by mathematician Alan Turing, managed to break the code by using a device called the Bombe, which simulated the Enigma machine and tested different combinations of settings. They also used mathematical techniques, captured material, and radio interception to find clues about the code²³.

By breaking the Nazi code, the Allied code-breakers were able to read the German messages and provide vital intelligence to the Allied commanders. Breaking the Nazi code helped the Allies win many battles and shorten the war, such as the Battle of the Atlantic, the Battle of North Africa, and the D-Day Invasion. Breaking the Nazi code was also a milestone in the history of computing, cryptography, and mathematics
