Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon

Stupidity: Moriarty writes the fourth name and address of Tobel's code; he spells "Frederick Hoffner Sloane." However, as he reads the paper on which he has written the words, he also reads the word "Square," even though he has not written it. (00:54:35 - 00:55:00)

Questions

Question: During this period (World War II), could anyone, without having to give any personal information, really request a person's address just by making a phone call, as Holmes does in this film?

Big Game

Answer: It's possible. Even during WWII, people were less savvy about protecting personal information, particularly as asking for a home address seems innocuous enough as opposed to giving out government or military info. Of course, this is a movie, so some liberties are taken to serve the plot.
