Also a Navajo would not be able to decipher the message unless he was a code talker. The Japanese had a Navajo prisoner and he couldn’t figure out what they were saying, which was not pleasant for him

A Navajo veteran recounted his story of being captured by the Germans. They thought he was Japanese and part of a plot against Germany.
He spoke Diné bizaad but the code was gibberish to him. He laughed as he described them breaking his bones to get information. He still somehow managed to escaped the prison camp.
