Enigma Machine on eBay



This auction brings a lot of mixed feeling for me. But, it is an incredible piece of history, and would be an amazing thing to own. I have posted links to the original auction in German, and babelfish translation, and an image of the auction (since auctions tend to end and go away). I don’t speak any German, and the babelfish translation is rough at best, so I can’t tell if it is a copy or an original. I am guessing from the price that it is an original.

    Hi,

    remember me? You’re quite right, it’s an original. At least that’s what it says in the text. If you should have any more questions about the auction, Bratwurst aka Wienerle or any Germany related stuff, feel free to ask. I’m not busy at the moment;).

    Bye

    see :) the allies had so much trouble to get a enigma machine, all they had to do is to go on E-Bay :)
