Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

50,000 Navajo tribe members in 1942. About 540 Navajos served as Marines as of 1945 and approximately 400 of them were trained as Code Talkers – mission that remained secret until 1968.

it was great because Germany had no idea what the code talkers were saying
