    So this post is going to be a code and we will see if people can crack it. Who ever crack's it first get's to post their own for others to figure out, and repeat. I would just like to point out that their is going to be NO hints :)D lets see if you guys can do it). If any of you have read Inside Camp X then you will solve this very easily. Please ignore the fact that the message makes very little sense. I know that for new people it will be impossible but for the most experienced it's possible.

    A POW is writing to a Family member from his POW camp when really it is a secret message asking for something behind enemy lines:

    "Hi John,
    Seems as if Eron and I need to write dearly to you more instead of oddly. I got rejected from the early breakfast list and I got mad. I miss mom, dad, sissy, Ovvy, and you."

    I know it sounds weird and makes little sense just ignore that.
     
    jorghe, Biak and Skipper like this.

    Isn't there some rule against rookies trying to make us think this early in the morning? Seriously, cooler time is in order here! :)

    As a guard , I would have suspected something here and intercepted the pow card . Nice initiative Volks, I hope someone will crack the code.

    I think that the secret phrase is composed by 5 words, and one of them is Strike. I can't find out the other now!

    You are on a similar track however its not quite, there is nothing to do with "Strike" but the way you thought about is close.....not very close but close enough to call close :D

    That's your hint skipper ^

    Well, try it, do trial and error and you will get it, I have like 40 I have made and this one is the easiest, maybe you guys should take a look at the book "Inside Camp-X". That will give you the ability to discover the answer in about 5 minutes.

    Inside Camp X: Amazon.ca: Lynn-Philip Hodgson: Books

    There isn't the "spoiler" function on this forum? I have a new idea, but i don't want to waste the fun!

    My guess would be to use an alphabet system like A+ 1 (A = b, b = C )

    I think that the original text is too readable to let use a chiper like that.

    IMHO the last two words of the secret phrase could be: Enemy Overrun

    Sorry Skipper, not this one. Look at some of my ealier posts on this thread it pretty much tells you how to solve it :D.

    Jorghe it is no where near "Enemy Overrun" sorry.

    You guys want another hint?
    By the way someone already has solved it but him and I decided to give some of you guys more time to solve this.
    Good luck!
