À propos de ce produit
Product Information
On February 23, 1945, U.S. Marines claimed victory in the battle of Iwo Jima, one of the most important battles in the Pacific islands during World War II. Instrumental to this defeat of Japanese forces was a group of specialized Marines involved in a secret program. Throughout the war, Japanese intelligence agencies were able to intercept and break nearly every battlefield code the United States created. The Navajo Code Talkers, however, devised a complex code based on their native language and perfected it so that messages could be coded, transmitted, and decoded in minutes. The Navajo Code was the only battlefield code that Japan never deciphered. Unsung Heroes of World War II details the history of the men who created this secret code and used it on the battlefield to help the United States win World War II in the Pacific.

Received The Visual Dictionary of Star Wars, Episodes IV, V, & VI. I don't know Starwars too well. Saw this at an Antique store. Opened it to find Darth Vader. It peeked my curiosity, and I liked how it was descriptive in detail. After some thought, I purchased it online instead. When I received the package, I eventually opened up the book for the first time and saw Darth Vader's description again. The seller is good, and recommended! As described. 🌎 ⚡°✩⁺˚⋆🚀⋆⋆｡˚ ˚☽˚｡⋆ ⋆⋆˚｡˖‧◯‧˖｡˚⋆₊⋆🌍⋆ 🌓

Correction checked my footage: I got Darth Vader today 6-10-24 for today's post. Previously on 6-8-24 footage.I got Creatures Page (noticed Space Slug), next page, Jabba the Hut, then R2D2 page.About Jabba the Hut. I have a memory I can't forget over 10-15yrs unsure of date. In a Second Life game, Jabba the Hut came to my character Messmer. Jabba said, "You'll be my slave" , "You have no choice!" True Story. I don't like GREEN! Yuck! Good Seller! Though. Brought back memories.
