  These were based on using a spinning rotor to select letters in writing a secret code. Although we th
ink of the Enigma machine as being of German origin, their story was more complex and indeed the first design for a rotor encryption machine was invented by two Dutch naval engineers, Theo van Hengel and R. P. C. Spengler, in 1915.

  The United States was then (as now) by far the world’s richest nation, and she was quick to capitalize on the financial implications of the war. From the start, she was covertly concentrating on the possibility of building warplanes, ships and guns. In general, however, there was far less emphasis on quirky secret weaponry; America wanted to build hardware. For the United States, the major focus of secret weapons research soon became nuclear research. Crucial new developments in atomic science had arisen just at the beginning of World War II, and although the key developments took place in Europe, it was in the United States that the money was made available.

  The film itself had spin-offs, for extracts were even included in the Pink Floyd movie The Wall. It was even more influential in scenes from the Stephen Spielberg move Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Extracts from the soundtracks of each film have even been matched to videos of the other and devotees can find them on YouTube:
