As Members know, we have been doing a lot of research into this little known part of World War II. Almost all of this research has been done by S.E.I.G. Agent Be579 and it asks more questions than it answers. It is a proven fact that young Leutnant Wilhelm Canaris plotted a great number of hidden coves and harbors while on board a German cruiser in World War I with special emphasis on the southern oceans and landmasses. An old German battleship retraced this route in 1938, presumably to reconfirm that these old hiding places were still useable & to update charts & specifications.

Here is the translation of more documents, transcriptions of radio messages or FT (funk telegraph), located by Be 579. We have not been able to ascertain the meaning of this transmission – maybe one of our former ‘Spooks’ can figure it out. Let us know.

Okay, all you Spooks, retired Spooks and wanna’ be Spooks – what do you make of it? We have located this document and translated it, now we need to know if anyone can figure it out.

Give it your best shot, and send your responses here to us. Let’s see if we can make sense out of this coded message.
