The Enigma machine was used by the German Army, Air Force, and Navy—as shown here during the Battle of France. The SS, police, secret services, Reichspost (postal) service, railways, and German Foreign Office all used Enigma, too. Altogether, the Germans used about 50,000 Enigma machines during the war.
