Translation of message # 2 :

You have done well Shekry, our trust in you has not proven in vain yet. See that it stays this way !
We have taken a look at your investigations and these pitiful twerps are ready to be subjugated.
It is their faith in these invisible things that make them weak. Women and sky, laughable !
I have given the order to all our (the letter is smudged here) to commence attack !
Prepare to receive more orders soon on how you can corrupt these idiots from within their own lands !

You find a nice
enigma simulator and
How it works
Problems is: we dont have the inital settings of the rotors or relector, or if the plugboard is used....

HAIL MASTER DESPITE THEIR EFFORTS OF TRYING TO STOP US WE DEFEATED THEIR FORCES AS YOU PREDICTED
HOWEVER THEY WERE STRONG TOO STRONG TO CONTINUE OUR PLANS FOR NOW
WE ARE NOW REGROUPING TO GATHER OUR FULL STRENGTH FOR THE FINAL ATTACK
IN THE MEAN TIME OUR SPIES HAVE TO CONTINUE THEIR JOB FOR NOW UNTIL WE FINISHED BUILDING OUR NEW WEAPONS
