You are probably thinking of the "Enigma" cipher machine. It was electro-mechanical device used to convert messages in to & out of codes. There were many different codes, and several versions of the Enigma machine. Not all German codes used the Enigma, however it is the most famous one discussed now.

you mean how they communicate in battlefield/combat?

They used sounds like: Flash...... Thunder.

example: an American soldier is in a Forrest alone or with two. He heard a sound and he don't know if it is a German or American(he cant see him, behind an other tree or something) he can say: Flash. If it was an American in that Forrest he know what to say back: Thunder.

If an American soldier scream Flash and if it was an American he knew what to say back: Thunder.

And they used click-clacks. A thing you press and it makes a click-clack sound. every soldier had that thing.

Obviously so that the opposing side could not understand. And also, they would use carrier pigeons with coded messages on their ankles. (It was a note, not a branded message!!!!!)

Who were the code talkers?

Code talkers were Native Americans who served the United States in World War II by using their native languages to describe artillery, armaments, troop movements and so forth. This scheme allowed the war-time commanders to communicate through the code talkers with the presumption that the 'code' in use would never be deciphered. They were correct: the code used by the code talkers was never 'broken'. Read more, below.
