# Presentation
Title: The Enigma Machine - live demo'd and explained
This session provides live demonstrations of the infamous WWII German Enigma machine, and explains its development, daily operation and historical impact.
Included are:
- A brief intro to cipher systems just prior to Enigma’s invention
- Live demo of a 1935 pattern German Enigma M1 showing daily setup
- Live conversational demo across another pair of Enigmas
- Influence of Enigma on subsequent cipher systems and methods
IT and cyber operators will find many historical echoes in today’s methods and take away a more visceral appreciation of the origins of modern threats.
Recommendation – watch the film “The Imitation Game” beforehand. While not perfect it is the best telling of the Enigma and Bletchley story to date, and will provide a good background to the challenge that Enigma presented to the allies.
# Speaker: Mike Pritchard of the Australian Spy Museum
