What were the Navajo code breakers?
There were no Navajo code "breakers" . That means someone who tries to figure out and unknown code. Native Americans who worked for the American side in World War II were sometimes called "code talkers". They used a substitution code to encode English orders using a native American language, mostly Navajo but other ones were used too.
Were women in the Navajo codetalker?
The Navajo Code Talker program was run by the US Marines. In WWII women were not allowed to join the Marines. The code used Navajo as a base but was encoded in that so a Navajo speaker could not understand it and would need to memorize the secret code to use it.
