Detailed explanation-1: -The bombe (UK: /bɒmb/) was an electro-mechanical device used by British cryptologists to help decipher German Enigma-machine-encrypted secret messages during World War II.
Detailed explanation-2: -Military intelligence gained from decrypting Enigma messages was known by the code name “Ultra.” Winston Churchill told King George VI, “It was thanks to Ultra that we won the war.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, then the western Supreme Allied Commander, said that Ultra was decisive to the Allied victory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Much of the German cipher traffic was encrypted on the Enigma machine, and as a result the term ‘Ultra’ has often been used almost synonymously with Enigma decrypts. Until the name ‘Ultra’ was adopted, there were several codenames for intelligence from this source, including ‘Boniface’.
Detailed explanation-4: -Until the release of the Oscar-nominated film The Imitation Game in 2014, the name ‘Alan Turing’ was not very widely known. But Turing’s work during the Second World War was crucial.
