The security of the cipher remains completely unaffected by . the results of the nape. All secret messages sent in are drawn Up so that the enemy, even with *exact know- ledge of the cipher, is unable to decipher enciphered messages by %Weans procedure. Since the call sign tables which had been used previously were pictured in.the Soviet Zone press, it was decided, for purely psychological reasons, to introduce now call sign tattles. Since the new call sign tables are easier to use than the old ones, the flaps only gave the final push to their introduction. Phonograph records for use in Morse code training wore' probably found with 'several radio operators who fell into the hands of the enemy. Since we cannot do with- out these records in the future new labels will have to be printed. It can be expected that auoh records will be especially sought after in future house searches.

Suggestions for new methods of peeking can come only from the field operating bases since 'packing and concealment methods must be adapted to the available possibilities of transport.
