Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
The Morse code used in the movie is mostly numerical, even in places where it is supposed to be alphabetical according to the plot. When an interception operator gives Jericho her headset to listen to an ADU transmission similar to what he was looking for, it is all digits, not suitable for an Enigma machine. [The morse used in just about every scene in Enigma is the date. While that wouldn't be appropriate to encipher using an enigma machine (you have to spell the numbers out), it is in fact entirely appropriate for a message 'preamble'. Preambles typically list the message serial number, the number of groups in the message, some sort of precendence indicator, and the date and time. When Kay lets Jericho know that ADU is back on, he obviously just started transmitting. It would be appropriate for ADU to be sending the preamble at that time. Oh, and by the way, ADU does not have a great 'fist', just an adequate one, judging from the morse I heard.]
