Carl Gorman, 2nd Marine Division. 'Without the Navajo, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima.' Major Howard Conor, 5th Marine Division. Their forefathers had battled the U.S. Cavalry with grim determination and fierce pride. They had lost, and the Navajo Indians were forced to live on reservations where U.S. policy tried to strip them of their heritage and history. Yet, when World War II thrust the nation into its hour of need, young Navajo soldiers responded with one of the most important, secret and least heralded accomplishments of the conflict. NAVAJO CODE TALKERS tells the incredible story of the only unbroken code in modern military history Navajo soldiers weaved their ancient language into a cipher that the enemies were unable to break. Numerous interviews with surviving code talkers illuminates their role, heroism and motivations. See how their legacy affects the Navajo people today and how the code they devised has served America since WWII. System Requirements: Running Time 50 Mins. Format: DVD MOVIE Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - A good general history with focus This is a good represenation of the Navajo Code Talkers. I like the fact that the video started with some general history of the Navajo and then went into depth on the Code Talkers. Including some interview footage of former CodeTalkers made the video more dynamic than just a simple history. Despite the treatment by the United States, the Navajo stepped up when needed most, a fact this DVD noted. Rating: - Great History This DVD is very informative. I never realized the impact that the "code talkers" had in the war until I saw this DVD. This DVD draws your interest in such a way you will find yourself watching it over and over again. It is tragic that Native Americans today are living in such poverty. Go to youtube and type in an indian nation and see their poverty. Rating: - Best comprehensive video on the code talkers I have studied this subject for some years, and by far and away, this is the most extensive and comprehensive presentation of the history of Native American (primarily Navaho)code talkers in World War II. The only issue I am aware of the video doesn't address or expand on is the theory each code talker had a Marine "buddy", who was required to kill the code talker if he was about to be captured. Rating: - Impressive work on Dine' Veterans This documentary was made before the Hollywood film "Wind Talkers." The film implied that non-Native soldiers were instructed to kill Navajo translators if they were about to be captured by the Japanese. This documentary mentioned a Navajo non-Code Talker who was tortured by the Japanese, but doesn't make the aforementioned claim. This work is much stronger than "The Navajo Code Talkers: Top Secret Mission." That documentary praised a clergy member involved with the program whereas ...
