Listening posts all over the UK were intercepting all radio traffic from the German Armed Forces (Wehrmacht). Intercepted messages such as this one were sent to Bletchley Park by teleprinter. The decrypted messages were checked at Bletchley Park for valuable information—such as this message from the High Command of the Wehrmacht to the surrounded Courland Army Group on February 12, 1945.
