Code-Lit
Is there any truth in stories that POW's during WWII would write letters and even books with coded messages in them? I remember something about a book that was written inside a German POW camp where the ninth letters spelled out some secrets or other pertaining to enemy positions. Any websites that tell of inventive attempts to Lick Hitler?

A quick precis is given at http://www.64-baker-street.org/people_leo_marks_master_spy.html His code-poem, "The Life That I Have", was given to VioletteSzabo - Marks maintained that codes based on well-known poems could be easily broken by the enemy, and he sent agents out with unfamiliar poems, usually written by himself, that nobody else could possibly have known.
