Recently the bullet above was found by a treasure hunter<\/strong>.\u00a0 As you can see it was no ordinary bullet in that in contained not gun powder but a secret message.\u00a0 The message was written in code so the finder posted a picture to a World War II<\/strong> forum and received an answer… My grandfather served in Italy, I inherited all of his military gear. He saved all of his daily code books, so looked it up. Here is the message:<\/p>\n QM is code for the officer that was tasked with coordinating forces for a particular engagement. This is an engagement status letter that is addressed to that officer.<\/p>\n The (6) 5 letter codes read as follows, from left to right, top to bottom:<\/p>\n THEY – THROW – GRENADES – WE – PULL – PINS – AND – THROW – BACK<\/p>\n The final code at the bottom is a phrase:<\/p>\n NOTIFY REINFORCEMENTS STAND DOWN – NOT NEEDED<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Could this be some kind of joke that was never delivered?\u00a0 Apparently not.\u00a0 The Nazis<\/strong> were throwing grenades that weren’t armed until the Allied forces<\/strong> armed and then threw them back at the Nazis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As Paul Harvey<\/strong> used to say, “And now for the rest of the story.”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
