Beware! Today's Erica was to tricky even for the creature that set it (namely me), so it ain't very easy ;-)
I hope you will enjoy and I would be really grateful for all the comments and ratings.

not that hard.
first, standard gw procedures. then, one mid length chain to get the 7 in the middle. then one short chain to find the 3 in box 6. then a lot of basic sudoku

I found this very straightforward. The German whispers open up pretty quickly, then the whole thing follows.
