As a point of interest, has the M4 team issued attempts on the message 
using 4th rotor gamma and thin UKW "c"? These messages were intercepoted 
"during the 1941 blackout" (i.e. between Feb and Dec 1941). UKW "C" was 
introduced "in 1941" according to wikipedia.

I'll take a wild guess that the two events happened at the same time, 
and that M4 was equipped with the two "greek" wheels and matching UKWs 
from the start.

However, I don't recall ever noticing an M4 workunit with UKW "C" 
listed.....

Anyone know what the story is on this please?
