SZ42a, 1st Problem

Station X                         August 25, 1943

 

Dear Mr Oswald

 

Can you decipher this message? We know the internal
key. The external key (QEP56) is the same as the message
from which we deduce the internal key. We can therefore
use the relative key 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1.

 

As you start using the SZ42a here are two documents that
I advise you to read before trying to decipher the message.
The operation of the SZ40 and additions related to the
SZ42a.

 

Good Luck!
