Additional time-line Radio Messages

Greetings;

I have been working on a time-line collection Radio message enhancement for Silent Hunter III. The additional messages liven up game play. I am wondering if there would be an interest to a release of this, as a messages_en.txt mod of sorts. But first, a little advise or help please.

Currently it has some 400 additional Radio messages that are historically accurate for late 1939 through early 1945. The better percentages (about 2/3) of the messages are related to events in the Atlantic & Mediterranean. The rest include some Pacific & supplemental messages. Recorded warships sunk by certain U-boats, Kriegsmarine & other war related events, other newsworthy events related to the war.

Messages are broadcasted around 1600; days with multiple messages are split up by hours give or take. I figure that’s ok.

I followed the stock format;

From: Naval High Command
To: German forces at sea
(Message)
Bdu.

The format is plain, figured that’s ok to because these are general messages, unless there are better formats. Also a lot of the messages include a date, some don’t. At first I thought this be good to break it up, now I’m not so sure.
