29 June 1942 Security West review of island convoy communications

Top secret command matter. Commander Security West, Gkdos 2068 A4, to Naval Group Command West, information copies to 3rd Security Division and Convoy Office St Malo. Submits the diary for 16–30 April with the divisional review. For the commander, Chief of Staff [signature not expanded].

On 19 April, page 5, and the divisional remarks: once the island stations are equipped with cipher M, St Malo Convoy Office intends to have one boat monitor the harbour-protection wavelength, transmitting also if possible or necessary, to receive arrival and departure reports directly and thus faster. A corresponding application has been submitted to Naval Group Command West, allowing also for the increased dummy radio traffic required for concealment.
