1941 · Comanche Code Talkers
Age 12
Many Native Americans from Oklahoma were once again employed as code talkers during WWII to create a code impenetrable by enemies. Rather than Choctaw, a Comanche-language code was developed. Several of these men were sent to invade Normandy to send messages. None of the men were killed and the Comanche code was never broken.
Name Meaning
English: topographic name for someone who lived on a projecting piece of land, from Middle English snoke ‘projection’. It is possible that this term was also used as a nickname for someone with a long nose.
