The Lorenz cipher was developed by C. Lorenz AG company in Berlin. The exact employees responsible for it are unknown. It was implemented in four variants in different machines known as SZ40, SZ42, SZ42A and SZ42B and introduced in 1940 and 1942 respectively.
The British cryptanalysts at Bletchley Park referred to the Lorenz cipher as Tunny and broke it by various hand methods (but too late to be of military value) until the first of 10 Colossus programmable electronic digital computers ran in 1944 (the first militarily useful message broke by the Colossus was on June 5, 1944 reporting that the Panzers were being ordered to leave Normandy and go north to Calais, clearing the way for D-Day on June 6, 1944 without having to worry about any Panzers for long enough to capture the beaches and have moved well inland).

Who created the colossus?
Tommy Flowers developed Colossus in 1943. This computer was intended to aid British code breakers in World War II with analysis of the Lorenz cipher.
Why was the Caesar cipher made?
Julius Caesar, of course! It was created for times of war, and it was a very simple cipher indeed.
What was the impact of Alan Turing's enigma machine?
Turing did not work on the Enigma, it was a German machine. However he did do some work on the British Bombe machines that were used to crack the Enigma machine cipher. Later he saw Tommy Flowers' Colossus electronic computer, designed to crack the German Lorenz SZ40/42 machine cipher. This inspired him after the end of the war to begin work on programmable electronic computers.
Where did Alan Turing invent his computer?
Alan Turing theorised about a computer but it was actually invented and built by Tommy Flowers, a post office engineer ! He spent 1000 pounds of his own money to ensure it was built and it cracked the German High Command code, The Lorenz Cipher, shortening WWII by a year.
What is the difference between code and cipher?
cipher is a lower level substitution that works at the level of the individual letters that make up the plaintext A code however is higher level and works at the level of words. Therefore this sentence could be turned into the code '@!:[]{}~+'
