Gerard’s role
[edit]There was a U.S. telegraph link used by the Germans to send cables to the US, theirs having been all cut by the British. Ambassador Gerard agreed to this, on condition all messages were sent in clear.
However, this one time, he approved the message being sent in code. Why? I came to this article to find out, but no info. 2A00:23C5:E0A0:8300:B0C0:26F1:9A03:24CF (talk) 13:38, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Fake/dead links
[edit]The link GermanNavalWarfare.info (under External Links) is fake - it leads to a Thai clickbait site ostensibly called 'The easy way to socialize, have fun, and make new friends', and should be replaced with a correct one. Jaycey (talk) 16:50, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
British Interception
[edit]I revised the British interception section to remove information that had was technologically false. The Swedes and the United States did not possess telegraph cables in the waters around Great Britain. The text conflated telegraph cables (by which one means submarine telegraph cables) and "telegraph cables" (by which one refers to the messages sent by private citizens and public officials that travel via submarine telegraph cables). There were three routes, as scholars have made pretty clear in the extensive literature on the subject -- by radio, under Swedish diplomatic message traffic, and under U.S. diplomatic message traffic.
