I know you probably meant that tongue-in-cheek, but the early German success wasn't luck, but the results of a hyper-focused industrial base and technically superior weapons (amongst other things).

Not exactly the same, but you may find a product I worked on a few years back, www.kona.com, to be of academic interest as someone who is looking at different communication methods. We used a similar "topic" method and allowed use

For an "ultra security mode" that would work, but it would break a large portion of the Web's sites (as you noted, and it's easy-ish to circumvent) :/ Conceptually I like the idea of an ultra security mode for certa
