I hope it's not like Ralph's message in A Christmas Story...."Drink your Ovaltine"

ran across the update, interesting story someone recognized
the code was ww1 being used in ww2 during the Normandy invasion


UPDATE:
A reader alerts us to a Telegraph article that has published the (alleged) contents of the message:

Artillery observer at 'K' Sector, Normandy. Requested headquarters supplement report. Panzer attack - blitz. West Artillery Observer Tracking Attack.
Lt Knows extra guns are here. Know where local dispatch station is. Determined where Jerry's headquarters front posts. Right battery headquarters right here.
Found headquarters infantry right here. Final note, confirming, found Jerry's whereabouts. Go over field notes. Counter measures against Panzers not working.
Jerry's right battery central headquarters here. Artillery observer at 'K' sector Normandy. Mortar, infantry attack panzers.
Hit Jerry's Right or Reserve Battery Here. Already know electrical engineers headquarters. Troops, panzers, batteries, engineers, here. Final note known to headquarters."
"Jerry" of course was how the Brits, aka "Tommies", referred to the Germans.

Did a Canadian hobbyist just crack the World War II carrier pigeon message?
