My modelling role was to look into the code breaking aspects of Pearl Harbour. This involved the equipment that was used and the layout of the offices that they worked in.
I researched the type of equipment that the U.S. military was using in 1941 in their code breaking and intelligence offices.
I also looked into other code breaking offices such as Bletchley Park in order to see the similarities and differences between the operations. The layout of the offices, techniques and equipment used were very similar.
The German Enigma Machine:
This Machine was originally developed Nazi Germany and used to encryt their messages. When the Japanese developed their naval ode they based it upon this Enigma machine, although not strictly present at the Naval Offices at Pearl Harbour, I wanted to include it to highlight the backing that Japan had. It wasn't just them acting alone, they were supported by Nazi forces.
