Code Talker During World War II

Sadly enough, the Navajos returned home after these successes unable to tell their stories or receive recognition for their efforts because the government had classified the work Top Secret. It was not until 1969 that the Code Talkers received some public recognition for their achievements. But, for nearly the next twenty years, very little was known about them. In the 1980's, though, a strong public appeal to decorate the Code Talkers for their World War II work resulted in President Reagan declaring August 14th National Code Talker Day (Shaffer 2). Even considering this national honor, the debate still continues over whether the

The critical victory at Midway, which crippled Japan’s naval force was the turning point in the Pacific. The U.S. was finally able to stop the growth of the Japanese Empire and started to push back. Over the next three years the U.S. continued to decipher the JN-25 messages and by 02 September 1945 the Japanese surrendered ending World War II. Deciphering the Japanese code gave the United States the upper hand in the Pacific and without the efforts of the men at Station HYPO the war may have been much

The code word “go” was not relayed to Hawaii (Glick). U.S. military officials picked up coded radio broadcast that was worldwide in Japan three days before attack (Glick). The ten demands for lifting an oil embargo America had

The walkie-talkie is a communication device that you can communicate with someone from a long distance. Donald Hings invented the walkie- talkie specifically for the military in Canada (Bowles). Donald Hings had hoped to improve telecommunications. He also wanted to help Canada win in World War II (Bowles). The invention of the portable radio was also known as the packset and has helped the war in many ways. For example, people can communicate clearly between each other because of the strong connections between radio waves. As a result, this makes walkie-talkies much more efficient to use in rough geographical locations compared to the telephones they had back then. This also made a better way for Canadian soldiers to communicate with other soldiers in other areas during the war. These points demonstrate that these scientists and inventors made a significant contribution to Canada in the victory of World War

Aside from some personal decorations received from the French and a few brief mentions in newspapers and biographies the US government gave no formal recognition of Indian code talkers during World War I. Although the Navajo code talkers have received public attention since their code was declassified in 1968 and received congressional recognition and gold and silver medals in 2001, all other code talkers have remained federally unrecognized.

They never existed. Their mission never happened. For those reasons, they never received any military benefits including healthcare. It was not until 1968 that the operation was declassified and the Navajo Code Talkers could emerge from the shadows.” (Kowal) One reason that Code Talkers were not recognized until much later is because the program was secret and classified by the military. After the War, Navajo Indians did not get credit for the work they did during the war until after it was declassified in 1968. After the war, Code Talkers were sent home and they were not recognized for anything they did in the war. There were sent with the orders to never say anything about what they did in the war. They fought for the United States and were never given any respect for what they did. Many of the Code Talkers earned medals, such as Purple Hearts, Silver Stars, Good Conduct Medals, and Combat Infantry Badges, during and after the war. The medals they earned were things that other people could earn, it really had nothing to do with Code Talking. Special recognition for Code Talking would not come for more than 40 years. After the programs were declassified, people started to realize the importance of the Code Talkers’ achievements, and they finally started getting the recognition they

Espionage means nothing if no one can get the information obtained by informants. So, the Culper Ring had to come up with secretive, yet effective ways to quickly transmit information to General Washington. Their techniques evolved over time and in response to problems, and could only be so secure, as time was of the essence for encoding, sending, and decoding each message, and they were extremely important, according to Brian Kilmeade, who claims that historian Morton Pennypacker “knew the Americans would not have won the Revolutionary War without the Culper Spy Ring” (Kilmeade and Yaegers, preface). However, despite these innate, as well as the unforeseen problems, they still succeeded in sending messages through two kinds of encoding.

However, the Japanese had modified the code, and were using an updated version, JN-25B, at the time of the attack. In addition, the men who broke the code confessed that they had not broken the code before the attack. Stinnett responded to this by saying the switch to JN-25B didn’t occur until 1943, and that the men were threatened with treason if they said they had broken the code (Cirignano). This controversy can be attributed to the Freedom of Information Act, and how a large amount of the evidence procured after 1950 differs from modern evidence. The historians arguing against the conspiracy are going off information from 1950, which is

Most people believe that World War II has been just Japan and their allies versus the U.S any allies we might've had. What people don't know is the U.S had to face Japan being able to interrupt messages sent between U.S forces and decode it to know what we were going to do before we did it. Luckily the U.S had a trick right in their own country.

The Navajo code talkers are one of the main reasons why the United States conquered Japan and Germany in World War II. During World War II, both Germany and Japan thought that they had such unbreakable codes. But in fact, these codes were broken and their most vital information was released to the enemy. A variety of techniques were used to achieve this goal that the code talkers pursued and overall Code and code breaking during World War II changed the outcome of the war, and helped led the United States to victory.

"In very exceptional cases, they made no mention of their plans or movements to any of their embassies, so that, in these instances, there were no codes to decipher. The attack on Pearl Harbour was such a case" (Ford,

“What I’m about to tell you, Corporal, cannot leave this room. Under no circumstances can you allow your code talker to fall into enemy hands. Your mission is to protect the code… at all cost.” In the movie, Windtalkers, this is how a commander wants his marine to treat the paired Navajo code talker. That is, if it’s necessary, his marine could kill the Navajo, just like abandoning one of his properties. Even in the mid 1900s, the Native Americans were still treated not as human beings, but rather, machines; therefore, it is not hard for us to imagine how even more frightening the Native Americans’ circumstances were in the early days when they were first colonized by the western settlers. In Deborah Miranda’s “Indian

Freeman Teague Jr. effectively expresses the importance and complexity of communication. At one time the U.S. Army defined communication as the exchange and flow of information and ideas from one person to another; it involves a sender transmitting an idea, information, or feeling to a receiver (Clark, 2015). Throughout this paper we will expound on key communication failures that were exposed during Operation Anaconda. The overall verdict is that Anaconda’s outcome was a success, but its original plan was a resounding failure. Many things contributed to the failure, but this paper will focus on the communication aspect.

The Code talkers are people in the 20th century who used obscure languages as a means of a secret communication during wartime. There are several roles of the Code Talkers in World War II. For example, the code talkers used their native language as their men weapon during World War ll. The code would proplex the Japanese military. It would also play a big role in helping the Allies win the war.

World War II was a war of many victories and losses. A battle for constant control of territories, that was ushered by greed and corruption. With this comes the persistent need to find an advantage over the enemy, and during this time Germany became the front runner in innovations and technology. This intelligence showed by the Germans had the allied forces in a scramble to help propel them on top of the battle again. In hopes of success, through desperation the United States had managed to put together a top-secret task force. However this was not the typical task force that the United States was know to specialize in, until the early 1940 's. This task force was hand selected to specialize in tricking the German forces, specifically in the art of Deception. Through the use of these technologies given to them, these brave soldiers used their skills in sonic, radio, and visual deception, to help lead the allied forces to victory. Later called the Ghost Army of the War, these American 's were essential in deceiving the German forces.
