How American Codebreakers Turned the Tide at Midway 🕵️‍♂️ | WWII Secrets Revealed

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.
