The Third Reich’s Use of Early Computers for Codebreaking

This documentary explores how the Third Reich tried to bring codebreaking into the age of machines. From the quiet cipher offices of Weimar Germany to the vast, mechanized intelligence system of World War Two, we follow how Nazi Germany used early data processing, punched cards, and primitive computers to attack enemy codes – and why it ultimately fell behind. You will see how German cryptologists built powerful intercept networks, used mechanized tabulators to track Allied radio traffic, and struggled against increasingly complex British, American, and Soviet ciphers. The film also examines the groundbreaking work of Konrad Zuse, whose relay computers anticipated modern computing, and asks why these machines were never fully integrated into Nazi codebreaking. By comparing German efforts with Allied projects like large-scale electronic codebreaking, this video shows how organization, politics, and priorities can matter more than pure technical genius. This is a deep, accessible look at intelligence, technology, and power in wartime — and a reminder of how early computing was shaped inside one of the most destructive regimes in history. Perfect for viewers interested in World War Two, cryptography, and the origins of modern computers. DISCLAIMER: ALL IMAGES USED IN THIS VIDEO ARE PURCHASED FROM LICENSED SOURCES.
