but what seemed weird , is , if it was the way he wrote his numbers or the date , wouldn't that be one of the first things they would teach a German spy
you would think that would be taught in German spying 101
Perhaps, but writing your name, address, or calendar date would be something you've done hundreds of times from your first day of kindergarten into adulthood, no matter what country you were raised in. The format in how you write a calendar date is probably not something you think about as you do it... you just do it pretty much by rote, by the way you learned it as a kid. It's not something you stop and think about, really. I can see how he'd just do it the way he's always done it and in the end, it betrayed him as a traitor.
