A chest was raised from the bottom of the Baltic Sea, in which the rotors of the Enigma, the legendary encryption machine of the Third Reich, had been lying for almost 70 years. These cogwheels, with the alphabet printed on them and electrical contacts in the middle, are called the "Enigma" brain.

It turned out that time has almost no power over them: the majority are in working order. They were found at a depth of 30 meters, at the place where in 1941 a German ship was blown up by a mine near the Latvian coast.

Sergey Semyonov, dive instructor: "This rotor can work, that is, all these wiring conducts a signal, and when set up on a typewriter, it will provide information."

The allies learned to decode the radio messages sent from the Enigma at the beginning of the war, although the Wehrmacht command was constantly working on new codes, supplementing and complicating them.

In our time, it is a great success to find rotors, with the help of which messages were encrypted. Now experts expect to find the car itself at a depth: they wait until it gets colder, and the water in the Baltic will become clearer.
