How could someone understand incoming Morse code ?

Even if the receiver knows every sequence code for letters and symbols by head, how does he know where one letter starts and ends and how does he prevent overlap of 2 letter codes getting mixed up ?

I recently read that during WWII, the Allies were able to track Nazi Morse code operators because they code decipher their “accents “. In the same way people develop specific speech patterns, the same thing happens in Morse code. So much so that people listening in to the transmissions learn over time that the operator was a specific person.

From there they could track them geographically which could then lead to actionable intelligence about the enemy.
