Question about WW2 radio codes

[MarcoP]

there was a thread I think by Anton where there was a highly suspicious chunk of text marked out by pilcrows and with the same word along the diagonal

I remember seeing that post, but I cannot find it anymore. Does anyone please remember where it is?

Marco,
My apologies, it was WladamirD, and this is the thread I was thinking of

Also I meant gallows not pilcrows but even that was wrong, I am a gumnut!

There was another longer thread too, I will try in a sec to find it.

That must be where I got Anton and gallows from.

Thank you, Donjch!
I cannot find anything "diagonal" in the second thread, but Wladimir's example from the first link is very clear.
I attach a comparison with a detail from the GermanYou are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. From the little I can understand of the German, the alignment is coincidental in this case, but a similar pattern might be caused by a recurrent phrase structure slightly shorter (or longer) than a line of text.
