God bless the Navajo people and their brave code talkers. I salute you all.

The ROV Fish was truly an amazing machine

[@freddoflintstono9321]

I am glad they mentioned Gordon Welchman as well as Alan Turing - Welchman come up with some ideas that are used to this day. Also, the Lorenz story is rarely mentioned - excellent documentary.

i enjoyed this more than i thought i would. thanks.

[@TheWoodStroker]

The British call them "valves". Americans call them "vacuum tubes". Just so you know.

[@ianmoone8244]

And what the british had done with
Alan Turing some time after???

[@daviddelima1495]

200% agree. Without Turing they would’ve been years behind code breaking. He deserves statues & a national holiday in a few countries.

Radio was so significant even Freddie Mercury's Queen had a song about it and made lots of money

The last one: I don't know for sure, but I think that underwater cable did not reach all the way to Moscow and it was not in 200 meter water; it was in 400 feet.

[@KevinP32270]

still amazing.

America spied on the Soviet union and end up saving it's president from an assassination attempt
😂🤣

[@nochugare]

They were called wind talkers. There's even a movie called "Wind Talkers" about the Navaho being used in the war because they looked Japanese but spoke a language that the Japanese wouldn't be able to translate/understand so the American army would have an edge. They looked Japanese so they could pass as a Japanese military member but were actually American military so they fooled the Japanese when they were out and seeing them walk around but confused them when they spoke their code llanguage. Lmao. They were called "WIND TALKERS!!", NOT, "CODE TALKERS!" LMFAO 🤣 🤣 🤣

But we lost the war🧐

Enigma was NOT invented by the Germans. It was a Polish invention...

[@vissitorsteve]

@@Krakeloa Thank you for the information. My previous understanding was that it was built in Poland originally and offered as a 'business' machine to banks in France for transmitting private banking info.but they declined it. Good to know the real story. Thanks again.
