This clip mentions the Enigma, which is pretty well known since the publication of "The Ultra Secret" by Winterbottom, and David Kahn's "The Codebreakers." The Sigaba is new to me, and I wish the clip had mentioned who used it. I think the clip should have told us more about the lesser-known machine.
