What was the name of the tribe the americian used as radio operaters in W11 against the Japanese?
As many previous respondents have already iterated, the US military implemented Navajo code talkers in the Pacific. The US Marines used them extensively in communications to coordinate their military maneuvers. To add additional information, Comanche was used in coded operations on the European side of things. The Comanche language had no equivalents for certain words in English, so substitutions were made. For example, “machine gun” became “sewing machine” (because of the noise) and “tank” became “turtle.” I was amused to note that Hitler was “posah-tai-vo” which means “crazy white man.” The codes used by these respective tribes have the distinction of being unbroken during WW II. The complexity of these non-written oral languages and the fact that at the time so few non-natives were fluent in these languages contributed to the success of thwarting enemy code breakers.
I think it could have been the Nation of the Navajo [The Navajo Nation] who supplied the talkers who spoke the Navajo language which was not understood by the Japanese. Thus radio messages could be sent quickly between stations, knowing that the ‘listening’ Japanese could not translate same.
