“Code Talkers”
The Code Talkers also known as Windtalkers were Native Americans that used their native language to talk and transmit information on tactics, troop movements, orders and other vital battlefield information by telegraphs or radios during combat.
The first Code Talkers were from the Choctaw Nation which was recruited in World War 1 to use their language to transmit messages. There were 18.
In the late 1940, the first code talker was recruited for peace time maneuvers but never expanded beyond this point. They were Comanche.
The US Marine Corp enlisted about 300 code talkers in the beginning of WWII. There ranks exceeded 400 during the course of the war and served in all six Marine Divisions from 1942 to 1945. There were trained as infantry fighting men but their main duty was to stick with the communications duties.
