Navajo Code TalkersNM History4 Navajo Code Talkers Brought up with the Navajo language all around him, P. Johnson thought that the incredibly difficult language would prove a perfect “code”--one that would not be “breakable”.

Navajo Code TalkersNM History5 Navajo Code Talkers US Marines recruit a special team of Navajos to create/ develop a code.
