I saw this movie when it first came out and I had never heard of the enigma machine. Just as I had never heard of code talkers until a few years before the movie Windtalkers was made. As far as I know, that has been the only movie made about the code talkers. I hope that Hollywood would make a better movie about the code talkers. They were an important part of the Pacific campaign. I do think all of the code talkers have now passed away. How sad that their stories have not been told in a proper manner.

Do you mean the movie Windtalkers? I do not recall any film titled ‘’Codetalkers’’. I agree though, there should be more movies made to tell their stories! It is not surprising however, since Native Americans are largely overlooked and one of the truest victims of racism in this country…. they certainly were the first. Such a shame!!
For example: Look at what the Olympic Committee did to Jim Thorpe in 1912 ~ stripping him of his gold medals because he had played baseball for the Rocky Mount Railroaders 2 years prior. Which was something that almost every single one of the white Olympic gold medal winners had also done (played for a team). But because Jim was Native American & an honest man, they stripped him of his achievement!
Even though he was lauded as the greatest athlete of the 20th Century!
