1. U-Boats By Sam DiPasquale, Mitch McCloskey, Kirsten Miller, Casey Judge

2. U-110 The U-110’s weapons were torpedoes. The battle of May 9 th, 1941 belonged to the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy dropped depth charges and the U-110 was struck by them but was not completely destroyed. The U-110 was abandoned and then captured by the Royal Navy. David Balme and his crew tried to get the Enigma machine but failed, because the ship was sunk before it was found. The U-110 was then brought back to Iceland and sunk by the Royal Navy.

3. Nazi U-Boat Codes Broken British sailors wanted to get an Enigma machine off the abandoned U-559 but failed, and they drowned before they succeeded, because they could not get the Enigma machine from the mount. The Navy began collecting Nazi codes from the ship, and seconds after the codes were on their ship, U-559 sunk.

4. Enigma Today There are Enigma code machines that still exist today. The Enigma machines were used in a fictional American movie saying the Americans captured the first Enigma machine, when the British actually did, although the US actually ended everything by capturing the last U-505. The British are now annoyed by the fictional movie. Use an Enigma machine: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/decoding/virtwav e.html

5. What is Enigma? The Enigma machine was a Nazi coding system that only they could translate. Tons of other countries during WWII tried to figure out the coding system and/or tried to capture one of the German Enigma machines. It was not until close to the end of the war that Britain managed to capture the first Enigma code machine.
