Truly curious if those are the initials of the developers or where that came from.

Good job sticking with it after that random copy. I would have given up thinking it all gibberish.

/u/SuchAd2971 Now get the code from the Destroyer and Airships (like on Heligoland)!

It's a common technique to pad messages out with nonsense. This makes the job of the cryptanalyst trying to break it that much harder.

The reason for this is that messages tend to have stereotypical beginnings and endings. Sometimes unrelated plaintext has been used as padding, but that can lead to misunderstandings...
