Yeah, isn't the thing about the sign-off a dramatization? They sure did repeat certain words like OKW and BdU, as well as sending uniform weather reports and changing their settings too infrequently. But that bit sounds fabricated.
Exaggerated, but not fabricated. There were common sign offs, and messages like "nothing to report" that were seen often. Another example is an officer who started every message with the same long formal greeting when messaging their commander. The most common was messages starting with "to " (in German and written for transmission, so "ANX" was the actual plaintext).
