Hebern: 2nd Problem

Munitions Buildings, Washington D.C.

Signal Intelligence Service

February 12th, 1931

My dear students,

Here a new problem. The topic is the 1812 war. The
beginning of the message is known
(“MESSAGENUMBER”) and the rotor order too
(3:5:1:4:2 in Forward position). The machine is set
in cipher mode. Your mission is to find the initial
rotor position and to decipher the message..
