This is an Enigma machine . This was used in World War II to deliver secret messages. The first Enigma was created by a German engineer named Arthur Scherbius. This invention helped a lot in World War II because 5 weeks before World War II began the Polish Cipher Bureau gave Enigma-decryption techniques and equipment to French and British military intelligence. And because of that during the war, allied code breakers were able to crack a large amount of messages that had been converted to a secret code using Enigma. The information that was gathered from this was a great aid for the Allied war effort.
