I was under the impression that the bombe was not "based on" the bomba,
but was an near-exact duplicate.

In addition, I thought they were not destroyed after the war, but saw
service decrypting diplomatic mail (as several embassies still believed
the enigma to be secure and used it for their diplomatic traffic)

I am happy to be corrected if someone here knows better :)

Still, its closer than the daily mail usually gets to the truth (and
didn't mention terrorism or muslims once - - a new record for the daily
mail and cryptography :)
