I have a friend named Garry, he was a transriptor and had to listened in to the Soviets. He had this guy that trucked him around and said; "If you get captured, I have to shoot you. Where do you want me to shoot you first?"

"My balls, then they'll have nothing to hurt me with."

[wadyano]

is this a true story or just based on the code talkers? meaning these actors are playing real people or invented characters.

@Glovefullavasoline Well, he did encountered Native American soldiers during his time as a soldier during Word War I. He feared that they would be used again if the US joined the war. He wanted German military codebreakers to break US military codes in Native American languages. There is a saying 'In order to break any code, one must the language of the code'. That passage came from Edgar Allen Poe's story 'The Gold Bug'.

@Glovefullavasoline Native American code talkers were actually first used during World War I where messages were written in Native American languages. Adolf Hitler who was a war veteran knew about this and sent many German anthropologists to the United States to learn and study as many Native American languages as possible. Since the Germans may have some knowledge on Native American languages, their use was limited in the European campaign.

@Glovefullavasoline The Navajos are not the only Native Americans to be recruited to be code talkers. Other Native Americans like the Comanches, Meskwakis, Cherokees and Lakotas were also recruited to be code talkers. Most of the code talkers are Navajos as they have the largest Native American population and were widelu used in th Pacific. Native American codetalkers were limited used in Europe for the fear that the Germans may had some knowledge in Native American languages.

@Glovefullavasoline There are a few codetalkers from WWII who still alive. I've learn this in Codetalker (it's a class) and there is someone from the veteran office who work with these veterans. I am Navajo and I do have a friend who's great great (i think) grandparents who is a code talkers and yes he is alive. The director, I believe, was so inspire that he first have to talk with the codetalker before making this movie. They agreed but their part has to play by Navajo. that's all i heard
