Word of caution here: this is not an entirely trivial text transformation. Although methods for deciphering this have been known for a long, long time, it will take "proper" cryptanalysis, this isn't exactly a puzzle-level challenge. This cipher, like so many others from the past, was called "unbreakable" at some point.

Yet another scheme from the past, used by several armies in both World Wars. Fairly strong for a quick manual cipher, even if it is no challenge at all for modern day cryptanalysts.
