that history reveals us at a distance of time, often of a long time, its secrets, also demonstrates an episode (really happened) suggested to me by the president. This episode also demonstrates the ability of history, to deny and contradict even the most rooted convictions and how, often, truths are kept specially hidden.
not long before the outbreak of World War II, that is, in 1930, in the very democratic America, it was discussed whether to grant natives, mistakenly defined Indians, citizenship and voting rights. It was a dark historical period of the use that denied rights and freedoms and in which a government commission appointed by the senate, revealed for example, the practice of kidnapping Navajo children to insert them into religious communities so that they reach the sufficient number to obtain state subsidies.
but the Native Americans insisted on defending their traditions, including the tribal language that the federal government committed to discouraging with great commitment of missionaries and school teachers.
It is not clear whether for a sensitivity to Indian populations or for a strong practical sense, but Captain lawrence, commander of a company during the great war, had an idea that turned out decisive.
Let's see how the facts evolved.
the shipping body uses in France, including the lawrence company, was invested by a German action that broke the U.S. lines by sowing panic. the offensive actually had an even greater strategic result.
The Germans took allied transmission codes to intercept and translate communications between departments and commands.
a few days after our captain lawrence wandered through the trenches when he heard two soldiers speak to each other in an incomprehensible language. were two young people belonging to the tribe of the “choctaw” and lawrence had intuition, using Indian radiotelegraphers to make communications to the Germans incomprehensible.
that day the luck turned its back to the central empires since even at the US headquarters, there were two “warmers” chotaw.
in a few hours all eight chotaw were gathered scattered to the front and the special company for communications was formed.
after three days, the Germans no longer able to understand the enemy communications, they folded.
the Syrians received many promises of honors and rewards that never arrived and, after the First World War, no one remembered more of them.
No one... no.
philip johnston was a civil engineer raised in the navajo reserve in Arizona.
Although he was not a pilgrim, his parents encouraged the child to live in close contact with his native peers so that he learned to speak the “divine” that is the native language.
He spoke so well that when the president of the United States visited the reserve, philip was chosen as interpreter (it was 1901 and philip was 9 years old).
Forty years after America entered the war and at nearly fifty-year-old philip shone the same idea as lawrence.
contacted Lieutenant Colonel James and. jones of the marines, a communications officer, who already knew the episode of choctaw and who welcomed with great enthusiasm the idea of johnston. high commands were not as available and demanded a practical demonstration of the project. the Japanese ability to decipher American ciphers, provided the necessary urgency and the evidence was quickly organized.
in the presence of major general b. clayton vogel in February 42 the demonstration took place. four navajo volunteers translated from English to dina and vice versa, messages typical of war actions. the result was surprising since it took 20 seconds against the half hour needed to the cipher machines. only thirty people in the world not belonging to the Navajo tribes included the god and none of them were Japanese.
to make everything more complicated was the fact that the navajo had not developed a writing system. However, as some words did not exist the language dinè, one had to study a dictionary of synonyms.
so the hand bomb became a “patata”, a submarine a “iron fish” and so on.
The Japanese cryptographers had managed to decipher both the ciphers of the us navy and those of the us air force but could never decipher the navajo messages even if they understood that it was an Indian idiom. but not even the capture of joe kleyoomia, a navajo marines taken in Filipinos served for purpose. tortured for days, he was unable to understand a dialect to him unaware.
to iwo jima, in the first twenty-four the code talkers (so they were called) passed over 600 messages contributing to the conquest of the island.
Despite the america still denied citizenship and the right to vote, more than 3600 navajo enlisted and in total the pellerossas sent to the front were 24521 (not many know that a group of seventeen comanches was sent to Europe with the same tasks as the navajo even if with lower results).
from an initial nucleus of 29 marconists, they ended up being over 400.
then the war ended and the navajo were dismissed with the obligation not to detect the task covered during the conflict even with the family.
the code remained unviolate and was declassified only in 1968. I'm sorry.
forgotten Navajo Marxists had no recognition until 1982 when President Reagan recalled the 400 code talkers.
but the first gold medals of the congress were conferred only on 26 July 2001 by g.w. bush to the first 29 marines of the original navajo code talkers.
of those twenty-nine, now only five were still alive.
