Hi,

Actually it was built to crack the Geheimschrieber
("Secret Writer")
ciphers, several versions of which
existed, and were referred to by the Brits as the "Fish" machines. I think
one specific machine was known to the Brits as "Tunny" and another as
"Salmon".
"Tunny" were built by Siemens and "Sturgeon" (not Salmon..) were built
by
Lorenz.
