The Navajo served in World War II primarily as code talkers in the Pacific. They developed a unique code based on the Navajo language, which was used to transmit secret military messages. This code was unbreakable and played a crucial role in various battles, including Iwo Jima and Okinawa, ultimately contributing to the success of U.S. forces in the Pacific Theater.
