ENIGMA M4 - Breaking German Navy Ciphers edit / delete

"The "Breaking German Navy Ciphers" Project was founded in 2012. The goal is to break original radio messages, which were encoded with the famous German ENIGMA cipher machine. Up to now, we've succeeded in deciphering over 60 original World War II Enigma I M3 and M4 messages." This includes a batch of messages found in a sunken U-boat in the mid-80s -- surprisingly readable given 40 years underwater!
