Classical Ciphers and Application
Description
An account of the resource
Classical Ciphers and Application features analyses of various ciphers- including classical ciphers and the application of ciphers used during WWII. The purpose of the collection is to explain how classical ciphers work and show the patterns among substitution (replacement) and transposition(scramble) ciphers. For further understanding in application, it attempts to provide an analysis of the famous substitution ciphers- the Zimmerman Telegram and WWII Pigeon Cipher.

WWII Pigeon Cipher
Description
An account of the resource
The WWII Pigeon Cipher describes a coded message found on the remains of a carrier pigeon discovered in 1982. This message was sent to the curator of the Pigeons at War exhibit at Bletchly Park, however he found it impossible to crack.
In 2012, Canadian researchers at Lakefield Heritage Research believe they have cracked most of the code using a WWI artillery code book. They believe it was from a British paratrooper, Sergeant William Stott, who parachuted into Normandy on a reconnaissance mission and reads:
"Artillery observer at 'K' Sector, Normandy. Requested headquarters supplement report. Panzer attack - blitz. West Artillery Observer Tracking Attack.
"Lt Knows extra guns are here. Know where local dispatch station is. Determined where Jerry's headquarters front posts. Right battery headquarters right here.
Found headquarters infantry right here. Final note, confirming, found Jerry's whereabouts. Go over field notes. Counter measures against Panzers not working.
Jerry's right battery central headquarters here. Artillery observer at 'K' sector Normandy. Mortar, infantry attack panzers.
Hit Jerry's Right or Reserve Battery Here. Already know electrical engineers headquarters. Troops, panzers, batteries, engineers, here. Final note known to headquarters."
