Very effective, Navajo Indians were used to rely information over the air. They did not use a code but rather their native language.
A lot of code talkers were killed off because when the Japanese saw them in the planes, they would kill the code talkers right away because the code talkers were the main source of communication.
The movie you're looking for is "Code Talkers," starring Nicolas Cage. It features Code Talkers during the WWII Battle of Saipan.
Probably the most profound effect that Native Americans had on WWII was in the Pacific theater. It was here that the code talkers were introduced. The Japanese never broke any code that the code talkers used. Matter of fact, during the cold war, a little known bit of history is that the Soviet Union went thru many efforts to procure the languages that were used by our code talkers and taught it to their GRU operatives. This way if we tried to do that to them, they could counter it. Also one of the Marines that raised the flag at Iowa Jima was Ira Hayes.
Most were Navajo and Hopi, but some were of other Native American tribes. Many came from the reservations in Arizona and New Mexico.
Code Talkers
It is not known exactly how many of the Native American code talkers perished in World War II but most of them survived. They are mostly dead now from old age.
the general of the marines recruited them poo
I think you are talking about the Navajo code talkers by the Choctaw indians... These codes were never broken and used to secretly send messages.
they were under the Navajo Indians, and the enemy never cracked their code during WWII
The code talkers were native American from the Navajo tribe. They used their native language to send messages that the Japanese couldn't decode or understand.
The code-talkers [or wind talkers] were all speakers of the same Navajo dialect who served as radio communicators in WWII. No-one could intercept and decode their secret messages,not the Germans or the allies either. they saved countless American lives.
Navajo code talkers spoke in their own language over the American forces wireless communications, so preventing the enemy from understanding the transmissions.
they were the "code talkers" for American troops in WWII
Navajo as code talkers
wind talkers
The code-talkers of World War II mostly refer to the Native Americans who used parts of their indigenous languages to translate secret tactical messages into code, then decipher the code back into the message. They were used in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and, to a lesser extent, in the European Theater. The most decorated Native American code-talkers were Navajo, but Native Americans of the Comanche and Meskwaki people also served as code-talkers during the war.
