You are correct. It is the international/Nato standard code phonetic pronunciation for digits, to standardize pronunciation amongst all those who do not speak English as a native language. Tree, Fife, etc. I just never heard it put into practice in my time, personal experience. I still don't see what would be confusing about "tHree' or "fiVe" or 'sIx' in a radio transmission which would be clarified by saying Tree or Fife or sEx.
Not worth arguing about of course.
Perhaps more related to the discussion at hand is the use of Zwo rather than Zwei for the numeral "2" in German radio or telephone communications (avoiding confusion betweween Zwei and Drei, 2 and 3) Can someone confirm that usage in German/Luftwaffe communications?
