    Er, I think it might not be the Enigma machine as that isn't a code just a device used to encrypt/decrypt Cipher codes? :confused:

    I thought the answer might be - Cipher - since it is asking for 'the sort of code' & Cipher is the generic term for the codes that both sides in the conflict used.
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    From what I understand, the Enigma Code is a cipher code - bit like a Golden Delicious is an Apple.

    So think of it like this the Germans used Golden Delicious (Enigma Machine) & the Allies used Braeburn (Typex Machine) to encrypt their messages - they both used machines which encrypted messages into Cipher with the particular apple type as the type of cipher used. :)
