Funny enough, I’m halfway through reading the novel “Cryptonomicon”, which has a big plotline about the enigma machines and German U-boats.

Nazi Operated Enigma Machine Retrieved In Baltic Sea Recovery of the centuryâs long lost-quintessential mechanical encryption machine: nearly three centuries during the second world war.
Having been said that during the ending period of World War II, the machine was abandoned deep into the sea by German to keep it out of reach of the allies.
What a strange opening paragraph? "Seven Decades" would be more appropriate than "Three Centuries". And what does "The Enigma code machine was made in the cold Baltic Sea in Europe" mean? Or THIS: "after its drastic beneficial purpose had been served". Is this a translation?

With a name like Joyce Williams shouldn’t this author have more familiarity with the English language than is exhibited in this excerpt? Such a jumble of words!

Is this a translation? If so, it was translated by someone who doesn't speak either language, and is a little wobbly in their dating.

“... The Enigma code machine was made in the cold Baltic Sea in Europe nearly three centuries after its drastic beneficial purpose had been served during the second world war....”
Three CENTURIES???
This machine was created in the 1940s. That, at least according the “Old Math” that I learned in school in the 1970s, is NOT three hundred years ago.
Although it may as well be at this point...

The machine allowed gazillions of ways to encrypt a data/statement, making it extremely tricky for other European countries during the war to decode German codes, thus securing themselves from foreign invasion and prevent attacks...
Clearly written by modern college graduate.

Apparently, we are in the year 2245 and we are all still alive and Donald Trump is in his 57th term as President of the United States.

And “Nazi Operated”????
While SOME German Kreigsmarine personnel were probably die-hard National Socialists, this piece of equipment was a standard-issue cryptographic device used on the U-Boats; hence, German naval personnel operated it, the majority of whom were probably just sailors performing their normal duties.
Words mean things.

Reads like a bad translation. Reason I say that is that sometimes and encryption system is said to have been “broken into”. And those three words might translate as “invaded”.
