Can you crack this WWII code baffling today's experts?

A secretive World War II-era message consisting of handwritten letters in a coded order was recently discovered attached to the skeleton of a carrier pigeon in southeast England. Homeowner David Martin says he was renovating his home in Surrey when the historic artifact was uncovered and he immediately turned over his unique treasure to experts in British intelligence to decipher.

Nearly one month later, the analysts are still scratching their heads, unable to crack the code dating back nearly 70 years.

Here's the complete code:

AOAKN    HVPKD    FNFJW    YIDDC

RQXSR    DJHFP     GOVFN     MIAPX

PABUZ     WYYNP   CMPNW  HJRZH

NLXKG    MEMKK  ONOIB      AKEEQ

WAOTA   RBQRH    DJOFM     TPZEH

LKXGH   RGGHT    JRZCQ       FNKTQ

KLDTS     FQIRW    AOAKN    27   1525/6

Codebreakers say the message will be practically impossible to crack without its codebook.  The "Pigeon Service" message listed its sender as "Sjt W Stot" and was intended for recipient "Xo2".
