∙ 14y agoThe Navajo code talkers were young Navajo men trained to use radios to communicate during WWII. Because their language was so incomprehensibly different to anything any other country had header, it could be used, with a few modifications, to send messages that stood almost no chance of being interpreted by enemy forces. Because the native language did not have words for various military terms, others were substituted for them, e.g. the word for 'potato' was used for a hand grenade. These several hundred words needed to be learned before the code talkers could go into service.
The system was indeed successful: the Japanese military admitted after the war that it had never been broken, despite successful decryption of other US Military codes such as that used by the airforce.
