Fwd: Wrens see Lorenz from encrypt to decrypt

Wrens see Lorenz from encrypt to decrypt
----------------------------------------

For the first time ever, all the equipment used in making and breaking
Lorenz, Hitler=92s most secret cipher, was demonstrated and re-enacted to
a private audience including Colossus Wrens at 'The National Museum of
Computing' on 3 June 2016.

Five surviving Colossus Wrens, a Colossus wirer and relatives of key
figures in the Breaking of Lorenz will be in the audience to witness
re-enacted events. Encrypting and decrypting of messages will be
demonstrated using original and reconstructed equipment including an
original Lorenz SZ42 encryption device, the Colossus Rebuild and the
reconstructed Tunny machine.

The breaking of the top-secret Lorenz messages of German High Command is
credited with shortening the war and saving countless lives. Much more
complex than Enigma, the Lorenz cipher was broken thanks to Bill Tutte=92=
s
deduction of the architecture of a Lorenz machine without ever having
seen it. As a result, the Allies were routinely able to read German High
Command=92s top secret messages. From 1944, with the creation of the
Colossus computer by Tommy Flowers, the Allies were able to reduce the
decrypt time from weeks to hours, a speed that effectively undermined
the German military machine.....
