Throughout history one of the key aims in warfare has been the successful implementation of a covert attack. Hannibal defeated and destroyed several Roman armies thanks to his masterful orchestration of battles that made his opponent the victim of such an attack. What he taught at the strategic level, the Romans mastered at the level of Grand Strategy, positioning themselves for the conquest of vast territories under the guise of interventions that seemed innocuous or even helpful to those they intended to dominate. They invaded and established strongholds of power in the midst of their intended victims camouflaged by declared purposes and intentions that concealed their strategic effect. Often it was only revealed when they exercised the domination it made possible. Their victims slumbered in the delusion of liberty, until the suave accents of diplomacy or arbitration gave way to the curt voice of arrogant command that signified its ruin.

If it was, I’m unsure why the German ambassador to America admitted it was genuine.
I suspect what you’re thinking of is the fact that its discovery was a result of British spying and they concealed the way it was discovered to protect sources of intelligence.
I wasn't aware the German ambassador had "owned up" to its genuineness. When and why would he do that? Taciturnity is the soul of diplomacy.
Misremembered myself. Apparently it was the German Foreign Minister who admitted the genuineness of the message, twice.
