Tero Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Sparked by the most excellent data provided by the thread started by Andreas I looked into the subject and this question raised its head: How will these three interact in CMBB ? The Soviet mashirovka methods are being revealed but what about the different capabilities of the respective intel services to process intel data in the CMBB-relevant scope and scale ? From http://hkkk.fi/~yrjola/war/finland/intel/ I found this bit of data: Soviet strategic offensive against Finland began June 9th, 1944. Now similar message traffic to the previously mentioned 4-digit code used by Soviet armored units was found in use in the Karelian isthmus. At first there were problems in decrycpting but then it was discovered that the code keys had been changed on June 12th, 24:00 hours. Accordingly the material was split into two and separate decrypting keys (bigram tables) were developed for both segments. Beginning June 15th all the Soviet armored units radio messages could be deciphered without delay and the defender was receiving the Soviet commands at about the same time as the attacking Soviet units. This enabled the Finnish armed forces to concentrate defences on the right locations. Many of the Soviet ground attacks were halted before they even began with strikes by Finnish Air Force bomber units, German Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey and concentrated Finnish artillery hitting the enemy troop concentrations often just minutes before the attack starting time. Can anyone point out any sources on the Fremde Heer Ost and Soviet services to decipher, process and distribute tactical level data to the front line troops ?
