A more minimal tweak to history which would still have had major implications was if the Luftwaffe officer had the idea "if the Allies have anything like this then the Enigma isn't as secure as we think." If the Germans seriously worried that Enigma was cracked, they could have done low-tech tweaks such as adding a layer of super-encipherment to Enigma which would have largely thwarted the crib-based British attacks. It wouldn't be necessary to imagine practical mini Z-machines, which would have been beyond the capabilities of 1940s technology.scatteredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798206745526344846noreply@blogger.com
