The Navajo Code Talkers played a crucial role in World War II: During World War II, the Navajo Code Talkers used their native language to transmit coded messages that the Japanese were unable to decipher. The code was never broken, and the Code Talkers are credited with playing a crucial role in helping the US win the war.
