The ability to crack the Japanese and German codes shortened the war by two years and saved over a million lives on both sides. That’s a fact from military experts, not me. Yesterday I just spent two hours in a class on Bletchley Park and this was discussed.
For example, just a few months after Pearl Harbor we had just 3 aircraft carriers and most of our ships were still filled with sea water. But we knew the Japanese were going to take Midway where they could then strike Pearl Harbor at will. We surprised them and despite being badly outnumbered we won that battle and it changed the course of the war.
Another example was D-Day. We had all of these decoy operations to fool Hitler on where the invasion would occur. But did he take the bait? Decoded messages showed he had, and so the invasion was on.
hahahhaha--
!!!!! 1. Navajo talkers were mainly tactical--they had
nothing to do with the Midway/German codes etc operations
United States Marine Corps whose primary job was to transmit secret
tactical messages.

......tactical---so Iwo Jima is surrounded by the US.....so,
IF the Japanese can break a ''standard'' USMC code, WTF do you think the Japanese are going to do?? come out of their caves/etc???!! NO.....
2. the USMC would've found another way to code messages
you people are typical of armchair generals----you think it's like a movie--like
Windtalkers
....it's like these people that make up these '''what if''' WW2 situations that are so ridiculous, they are laughable
..the USMC would've found another way --would it have been unbreakable--maybe not---but they still would've won
