I believe that was Lorenz, not enigma. The higher level code. Basically Hitler and his generals only.

An operator missed a letter in a message. He then reset the machine and re-encrypted it. 2 almost identical messages like that were enough to figure out how the encryption operated. They didn't see a physical Lorenz machine till after the war.
