The Role Of Code Talkers In World War II

Code Talkers had several roles during World War II. The code that the Code Talkers made was difficult for several people to hack. There are several pieces of evidence that support why the code was difficult to hack. There are also many pieces of evidence that explain the Code Talkers roles in World War II. The Code Talkers had several roles in World War II. One role that Code Talkers had was to develop a code that would be hard for the Japanese to crack or figure out. In the text it states, “The group developed the code that would confound Japanese military cryptologists and play a major role in helping the allies win the war.” This shows that their job was to create a code hard to figure out by cryptologists, cryptologists are people who are trained to figure out the codes. To conclude one of the roles Code Talkers had in World War II was to create a code hard to figure out.

For instance, the code was based on the Navajo language and this was the languages used to create the code, therefore the code was hard to comprehend. This was hard to figure out because the Navajo language was unwritten back then. The author states, “After basic training in 1942, Nez's platoon was tasked with developing a code, based on the then-unwritten Navajo language.” This proves that the fact that it was in the Navajo language was one of the things that made the code hard to crack. To conclude, there are several reasons the code was hard to crack and the Navajo language was one of
