Arthur Scherbius created the Enigma Machine for the Nazi military. He created his machine on February 23, 1918. From the outside, the Enigma looked like a big typewriter, but on the inside, it was a half-mechanical, half-electric machine that was at the time, the most sophisticated coding machine in the world.(https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/nov/14/how-did-enigma-machine-work-imitation-game)
