Given it's use in cinema (Indiana Jones, Bond, etc), it is reasonable to assume that even a non German speaker would know of this phrase. Combined with its rarity, could it not be that 'Mein Fraulein'is merely the phrase that is searched for by the handler? I'm picturing the intelligence liaison typing 'Mein Fraulein' in the search parameter for each city... I did it myself today with zero results in 10 cities. Pretty easy way to find a specific message, no? In case people are trying to locate new coded messages, bear in mind that 'Craigslist' and 'Mein Fraulein' might be two keys that change on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

I happened to 'Google' myself and came upon this page. I'm the Frank Cefali, Member of the Adult CCG to whom you refer.....one of many Frank Cefali's I see when I 'Googled'. I'm not related to the other Frank Cefali's but the CCG I was a member of was when I was doing HIV clinical trials. The 'CCG' stands for 'Community Constituency Group' which helped link affected communities to HIV Treatment and Trials. I was the nursing representive of the trials to the community group. A worthwhile and rewarding time of my career. Has nothing to do with codes, cryptanalysis etc. So sorry, but no coincidence other than name. The only 'codes' I deal with are Medical Codes....just like on 'ER'. FC ( Re: Comment 94 by Brad. I happened to ‘Google’ myself and came upon this page.

So if the 3-digit number combinations are transposed and written vertically instead of horizontally, the 0's could be viewed as nulls included for encoding purposes. 1/0/0 9/7/0 etc or 0/0/1 0/7/9 etc. The nulls would be irrelevant and added only to further encode the message for the 5-digit format of transmission. After removing the nulls we would have to figure out the resultant cypher box. The three exceptions could be the line starters or enders or something of the like.
