The whole idea that the code used was a collection of simple acronyms is ridiculous - what is the guy thinking? He obviously knows nothing at all about coding - his 'translations' make no sense at all anyway - he seems to have just made it all up with no basis on fact or history. He even thinks that the number '27' at the end of the message is part of the date!
Have you also seen his patronising comments about front line troops being too stupid to carry out ciphering? If that is what passes for a local history group in Canada ...
Almost certainly this message will never be broken, as it is most likely a 'one-time pad' - which cannot be broken if procedures were followed correctly. It is the one cipher system which can be mathematically proven to be unbreakable, and is EXACTLY the system which would be chosen for pigeon messages.
