OT-History buff, Watched the Windtalkers. Were they that important?

I don't think we necessarily would have been screwed, but the Japs not being able to understand what we were doing at the tactical level helped us a lot.

Even so, the Pacific War was a much more uncivilized war than the ETO.

Um no, think hundreds of years ago and something to do with some pilgrims.

Indians only speak drunken jiberish. Movies like that were made to make the Indians feel better about their shitty life

Were the Windtalkers the people who farted out their butts?

So edgy

That movie sucked some arse

Yes a very true statement. Just some godawful acting and cliched scenes from previous WW 2 flicks. Did a terrible disservice to the actual wind-talkers.

I would call their contributions in par with the capture of the German enigma machine in late 1941 off of U570 and the allies being able to capture German messages sent via this ingenious machine. Being a language not known at all outside of the Navajo nation it gave a great advantage to commanders in the pacific to relay messages without fear of them being decifered by the Japanese.
