 The codetalkers weren't just used against the Japanese. They also gave the Germans fits. The 82nd had several Lakota, in Sicily those Lakota would pass the scores for ball games across the airwaves. Germans thought it was some sort of new secret code.

There were Lakota, Navajo, Cheyenne etc codetalkers. The benefit of having a language that wasn't written down.
