Navajo Code Talkers
Code talkers were used to help position units for attacks or pass secret messages in between different people. The United States government needed a code that was unbreakable so they didn’t have to worry about their secret messages being in the hands of their enemy’s. 1942, Philip Johnson is the one who thought of the code. He grew up on the Navajo reservation. To get the new program off of the ground recruiters visited the Navajo Reservation. The first code talkers were sent to the Guadalcanal to be the first to use the Navajo Code in combat. The Navajo code was never broken throughout the war and out of the 50,000 Navajo in the United States 420 if they served in world war two.
