Absolutely! My dad was a ham operator for many years and a military radio operator during WWII. Some years ago he sent me a copy of an article (going by memory here) written by a WWII German military radio operator. The German radio "op" detailed his role in passing a Morse Code message to Allied forces requesting that they not bomb a certain ship in a particular harbor since it held Allied prisoners of war. The writer reported that when the Germans later surrendered, the Allied commander thanked the German commander for informing them and saving the lives of the Allied troops.

Morse code was heavily used for military radio communication on both sides during WWII. German made WWII military surplus telegraph keys (used for sending Morse code) are considered to be very good quality and are still in use by ham radio operators in many countries.
