The Navajo Code Talkers Used By The US Army At Guadalcanal | World War Weird | War Stories

During the US assault on Guadalcanal there were strange sounds and words coming across the radio for US soldiers. Had one of their radios been taken by the Japanese enemy? Was it some secret code? It was in fact their own men, known as code talkers. In this episode of World War Weird we see just how the US military utilised the Navajo language and recruited men to help them win the war. Also in this episode; how the Nazi’s almost discovered the D-Day plans of Operation Overlord in a crossword, the rumor that the German was boiling down its own dead, and how six men buried themselves alive inside Gibraltar to fight until the last.
