They were in code, and the Japanese broke them all. Except one. This code is Athabaskan. It is spoken by the Navajo. There were 400 Navajo Code Talkers. All were Marines. They were trained in radion and sent to the front. There they sent messages in Athabaskan. BUT IT WAS MORE THAN THAT. They spoke another code in Athabaskan. It was a code inside of a code. Even another Navajo could not understand it. The Code was top secret until 1968. The Navajo were ordered to tell no one. They were men of honor. They kept their secret for 20 years.
