   For anybody interested, the actual encrypted message:

     BTTE UM ANGABE DES MARSQWEGES X BEFINDE MIQ IN X ROSENOW ROSENOW X SOFORT FUNKANTWORT X WASCHBBSCH
   

   which, given misspellings, translates approximately to:

     Please specify the route of march. I am in Rosenow, Rosenow. Immediate reply by radio. Waschbusch.

      was the misspellings deliberate?

         Looks like Q is used as an abbreviation for CH

            Interestingly, in MARSQWEGES -> MARSCHWEGES, but not in WASCHBBSCH (WASQBUSQ)
