I have not looked at 1944, but in March 1945 more western Europe radio traffic is decoded by ULTRA. I assume that the infrastructure was breaking down and they had to resort to radio for sending their messages.

Hi Dennis,
You are right about more and more orders were promulgated via radio. Due to the ground situation many HQs were forced to operate from mobile command posts please see:
