Dirk, the guy whose site that is a link to, also has nice simulators
of the Enigma (in Luftwaffe/Heer, Kriegsmarine M3 and Kriesgmarine M4
models); as well as for the KL-7, and the BC-52 (a C-52 with the
keyboard attachement).

He's also got a crypto contest going on for the Enigma, and a story
thing requiring the use of a KL-7 and one-time pad (which have keys
provided).


He's also a really nice guy. Go check out the site; much learning and
fun will be had.

Cheers,
Christian
