Seems unlikely to be cracked is right ![]() From what I've read on the topic, the issue is that it could be a poem code (involving an unknown keyed transposition) where AOAKN is the indicator for the words in the poem or . . . . Or something designed to look like a poem code, which was common during that time - so the enemy would waste time attacking it in that fashion. My first instincts were the 27 was a check for the number of 5 letter groups sent and 1525 being the time and perhaps 6 being the 6th message sent that day, or something similar. I've got nothing! |

From http://elonka.com/UnsolvedCodes.html: "There are still some scattered unsolved Enigma messages from World War II. There are also various other WWII encryption systems that were never solved" |

I'm always skeptical of decrypts that rely on "there are a lot of acronyms" But I'll be happy to see if there's an actual plaintext that can be verified. |
