Re: Luftwaffe Personnel spying for Allies?
Hi Andreas,
from looking at the JPEGs, IMHO, all of the information could be explained as being from Enigma signals - operational orders/operational reports etc. I will endeavour to post an example of a message in its original format (i.e. full text) as these exist in HW 1. I completely agree with Nick as it is illogical that humint would go through Bletchley Park. The reason why some unit IDs are wrong is probably because the Enigma transmissions weren't fully in cleartext. References to sender/recipient and units were coded and these had to be decoded even once the Enigma message was decyphered. As an example, NABBE 4 = NJG 4 NABCI = I./NJG 4 BABUC = III./NJG 4 GENRO 3 = 3 Jagd Division GEDNA = Luftflotte Reich Cheers Rod |
