No code talkers were captured. There was a Navajo man who was captured by the Japanese in the Bataan Death March group. They interrogated him. He could not give them the code because he had not been trained in the code. He may have been able to figure it out if they Japanese had not tortured him.

Did Navajo Code Talkers have body guards that were supposed to kill them if captured?

Yes, that is information that I have found.


Why was there a need to assign bodyguards to the Navajo Code Talkers?

The "bodyguards" for the Navajo Code Talkers had the responsibility to see that they never fell into Japanese hands. This responsibility was handled in two ways:protect the Navajo Code Talker during battlekill the Navajo Code Talker if he was captured or was about to be captured by Japanese (the Navajo Code Talkers were never informed of this)Effectively the US Military treated the Navajo Code Talkers as they would any other classified high security cypher machine they might use to send and receive secret messages. If you were responsible for a cypher machine your responsibilities for handling the machine were identical: protect it from the enemy in battle and destroy it should there be a chance of the enemy capturing it.

Who were the first Code Talkers?

The code-talkers of World War II mostly refer to the Native Americans who used parts of their indigenous languages to translate secret tactical messages into code, then decipher the code back into the message. They were used in the Pacific Theater of World War II, and, to a lesser extent, in the European Theater. The most decorated Native American code-talkers were Navajo, but Native Americans of the Comanche and Meskwaki people also served as code-talkers during the war.
