The Choctaw code talkers
Camilla Pardini - Maria Eugenia Furnari -Gemma Giacomazzi
During WW1 a pair of Choctaw soldiers were chatting in camp when a captain walked by and asked what language they were speaking. Realising the potential for communication, he then asked if there were other speakers among the troops.
Using a field telephone the captain of the Choctaw got the men to deliver a message in their native language which their colleagues quickly translated back into English. That’s how the Choctaw Telephone Squad was born and so was code talking. Even if the Germans were listening, they couldn't understand. It was also the quickest way of coding and decoding information, faster than any machine, giving US troops a crucial edge over the enemy.
