Bidders on eBay are
offering over €13,000 to get their hands on a wartime German encoding machine.
The portable
Enigma
encryption machine, made in 1941, is similar to ones whose messages were
cracked by British code breakers at
Bletchley
Park in World War Two. It has a keyboard and a series of rotors designed to
scramble messages.
The machine is believed to be the genuine article, but serial numbers which
could prove its provenance have been removed.
"We've had it inspected by an expert who said that, due to its good
condition, it looks very likely to have been in German state ownership at the
time," said Alexander Urff of Sales Service, the Munich-based company selling
the device.
