The story how the British ended up intercepting it is pretty funny. They continued to use a codebook that was previously abandoned. The international cables were cut by the Brits so the Germans had to rely on the Americans to route the message through. On the way it passed through the Brit who managed to decode it.
Some comedy movie stuff lol
