When the U-571 sends its distress message, the toothed wheels of the Enigma machine are visible while three characters of text are typed. The right-hand wheel should advance with every character, but it clearly does not; in a close-up we see it advance correctly once, then on the next character it just starts to move and falls back. Presumably the filmmakers used a real wartime Enigma machine that, after 55 years, was not in good working order.
