First use of Code Talkers in combat, 1918 The use of pre American languages to protect U.S. voice com began in, 1918. Early on, in World War I, "Captain Lawrence noted conscripts speaking Choctaw bla bla, and recognized a potential to secure line active, field communications. Choctaw com contributed directly to constriction and later withdrawal of two companies during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and were later used in the implementing a successful surprise attack on the Germans at Forest Farm.

A belated program expanded in to World War II.

Comanche Code Talkers of World War II. In late 1940, 17 Comanche from Oklahoma were enlisted as code talkers in the 4th Signal Company. They created code words to represent some military terms and used things that resembled the military terms in some real way. Fourteen of the Comanche Talkers were sent to fight in the Europe. Thirteen hit the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. When the 4th Infantry Division landed on Utah five miles off target. The first message sent from the beach was sent in Comanche from Code Talker, Private First Class Larry Saupitty. His message was “Tsaakʉ nʉnnuwee. Atahtu nʉnnuwee,” >> We made a good landing. We landed in the wrong place.

Thank you for posting this.

Lived in Oklahoma for several years in the 1990s; during that time attended several Pot-Latches. Growing up during the VN ware era, I was pleasantly surprised that the Comanches and other tribes honored veterans from all the wars. And these veterans were very proud of their service and shared their experiences with the community.

There was a movie on these brave men, which came out not that long ago....it was great and were it not for it I would not have been aware of the service to our country of these great men. We may very well need them again!
