Instructions

• Remember, this is a covert operation.
  Military information is worth a lot of money on
  the open market and could change the outcome of
  the war. Take care to conceal your information
  as it is being passed to Fraulein Morano .
• After gathering your information, please
  conceal your papers ( your trench journal ) in
  some kind of deceptive, protective covering.
• You might place your journal inside a German
  restaurant menu, glue it to the inside of a
  folded map of Germany or France, secrete it
  inside a hollowed-out book, conceal it within a
  folded newspaper or hidden in something
  unexpected, disguise it as an old, perfumed love
  letter in an envelope, tuck it into the rim of a
  soldiers cap, or bake it in a loaf of bread.
• Fraulein Morano will collect all information
  and deliver it to the Kaisers offices. Be sure
  to answer your questions in complete,
  grammatically correct sentences ( for easy
  decoding ).
