A typical encrypted message can look like this:

From FdU 1939/09/10
To all uboats

TEMHD NPGZZ PYSMX FDLIU GLORB
MJLYO XMFRZ ZVTGN QGYAW FBHUQ
CANJX MUSWG DVJMN MYBLF QEQZZ
B

When you recve a message like this you look at the code book and find the sheet that is used for the date 1939 month 9 (september) And then use the settings in that code book to adjust the enigma machine. And if you have correctly used it the enigma machine will translate it to this: (and of course you have to type in the crypt message also for it to be translated)

CONVO YSNOR THOFB RESTM AYBEA
TTACK EDIFE SCORT EDBYF RENCH
ORBYF RENCH ANDBR ITISH FORCE
S

Note that its shown as 5 letters

And it should be read like this:

CONVOYS NORTH OF BREST MAY BE ATTACKED IF ESCORTED BY FRENCH OR BY FRENCH AND BRITISH FORCES
