I have got question about decrypted message.
The plain form is:

VVVUUUVIRSOBENNULEINSXXMITUUUVIRSIBENNULZWOYVIRSIBENNULDREIYZWODREISECHSEINSYZWODREIDREIACHTEINSDREIOITNACHWZSTENPASSIRT

which you interpreted as:
VON U VIER SIEBEN NULL EINS. MIT U VIER SIEBEN NULL ZWEI, VIER SIEBEN NULL DREI, ZWEI DREI SECHS EINS, ZWEI DREI DREI ACHT [,] EINS DREI [VIER] NACH WESTEN PASSIERT

What were the reasons to interpret fragment "EINSDREIOIT" as "[,] EINS DREI [VIER]"?

It looks as this message was transmited by U4701, saying, that together with U4702, U4703, U2361, U2338 are cruising west. All these boats were type XXIII, all were (at 1st May, date of message) in training flotillas (5th in Kiel and 32rd in Hamburg). The ending part of message - "EINSDREIOIT" - does not fit to my interpretation. Do you have any idea about this?
