About this video

The Battle of Midway was the turning point of World War II in the Pacific — but America didn’t win it with ships. They won it with intelligence. In 1942, U.S. Navy codebreakers at Station Hypo cracked Japan’s secret naval code “JN-25.” Led by Commander Joseph Rochefort, they uncovered Japan’s plans to attack Midway. By faking a distress message about Midway’s water supply, American crypt analysts confirmed their suspicions — and ambushed Japan’s fleet. Because of these codebreakers, the U.S. Navy destroyed four Japanese aircraft carriers in a single day, shifting the balance of power in the Pacific forever. This is how intelligence, not firepower, decided the fate of World War II. #WWII #BattleOfMidway #AmericanHistory #WarHistory #USNavy #PacificWar #Codebreakers #Cryptography #WorldWar2 #MilitaryHistory #StationHypo #JosephRochefort #Japan #USA #HistoryShorts #ViralHistory #USMilHistory
