X-WR-CALDESC:14 August 1944: Spy Velvalee Dickinson was sentenced to ten ye
ars for providing intelligence to Japan via 'Doll Code' steganography in m
essages. \n\nVelvalee used her doll shop as a front to send secret communi
ques - steganographic messages - around the globe\, reporting on military
activities and position. And example of an actual message: “Doll in a hula
skirt is in the hospital and doctors are working around the clock”\, whic
h translated to “Light cruiser USS Honolulu is badly damaged and in Seattl
e undergoing around the clock repairs.”\n\nThe language of dolls apparentl
y served up a myriad of ways certain activities could be discussed in fron
t a casual observer without drawing too much attention. However\, this was
WWII. The government had a cadre of cryptanalysts on payroll examining th
e mail of everyday citizens and this is what led to Velvalee’s discovery.
\n\nShe sent one her “letters” to Buenos Aires\, but the intended recipien
t had moved on and the letter was returned to the US where it was intercep
