    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.
