The Germans apparently did not read all of the WRB's messages, and in fall 1944 the State Department shifted to code machines and stopped using the previously decoded ciphers.

Thus, in addition to the German decrypts of WRB's activities, let us now examine its own reports by invoking the same “kaleidoscopic” method.

The WRB claimed to have been able to save Jews by intervening with German-allied governments, including the Horthy regime in occupied Hungary. It took steps, as mentioned in a report on the WRB's activities from October 1944, “in cooperation with a private agency,” probably the Zionist Rescue Committee in Istanbul, “to establish contact with a mysterious person known only as ‘Willy’ [Wisliceny – S.A.] who was reported to have been successful in arresting the deportation of Jews from Slovakia.” This passage tells us first that those who communicated with “Willy” took him seriously, and thus Kasztner and Brand, who probably stood behind it, indeed believed in the Slovak myth or had to stick to it, having no other option but to try to make it a reality due to changed conditions on the ground. Second, they did reach the WRB in this regard, before Brand was sent to Istanbul, when on April 20 the WRB itself “asked an intermediary in Switzerland [probably Saly Mayer – S.A.] to explore with him [i.e., with Wisliceny] the possibility of arranging for evacuations from Hungary to neutral countries or for holding up deportations or permitting sending relief to those detained.
