Über diesen Titel

 In World War II, the US Marine Corps turned to the Navajo language to create an unbreakable code that baffled Japanese cryptanalysts. This episode explores the development of the Navajo code, the recruitment and training of the code talkers, and their crucial role in key Pacific battles such as Iwo Jima. We discuss the linguistic ingenuity behind the code—how Navajo's complex syntax and tonal qualities made it ideal—and the cultural context of Navajo people serving a country that had forcibly assimilated their children in boarding schools. Learn about code talkers like Chester Nez, who helped devise the original code, and the extraordinary lengths taken to keep the code secret, including the fact that its very existence was classified until 1968. This is a story of linguistic brilliance, cultural resilience, and a unique contribution to Allied victory.
