During the course of their work, the trappers discovered one of the methods by
which the Germans were transmitting secret messages: They would shrink a whole
page of regularly typed text to the size of a tiny dot, then conceal the dot under an
innocuous-looking punctuation mark! The staff likened these messages, with their
secret-bearing dots, to the English dessert plum duff, for these “punctuation dots
[were] scattered through a letter like raisins in the suet puddings.” The term “duff
method” came to be applied to the technique that the Germans used to send military
and other messages through the mail.
When the United States entered the war, FBI agents joined the British in their
intelligence operations in Bermuda.
