He discussed the British forces at the front, their duties, capabilities,
and effectiveness; he told of reinforcements that were expected and
supply ships that had arrived, explained morale problems, analyzed the
various tactics that the British had under consideration, even reported
on plans for local military operations. He carefully encoded his messages
in the BLACK code and radioed them to Washington, usually addressed to
MILID WASH (Mzfitary Intelligence Division, Washington). And as his
transmissions flashed through the ether, listening Axis radio stations—
usually at least two, so that nothing would be missed—took down every
word. The intercepts were transmitted by direct wire to cryptanalysts,
where they were reduced to plaintext, translated, reenciphered in a
German system, and forwarded to General Erwin Rommel, commander of
the Afrika Korps. He often had the messages only a few hours after
Fellers had sent them.
