    How about RADAR and the NORTON BOMB SIGHT? They were far more important in my view.

    I agree with you 100%. I was simply going by the article title and a quote by Eisenhower in a 1964 interview

    t wasn't a "invention" but the Navajo code talkers were very instrumental in defeating the Japs.

    The war produced many advances in technology that lead to the Allies superiority over the Axis powers. I don't know that you could point to one and only one that "won the war".

    I believe the article (and thread) title referred to it as HELPING to win the war.

    Neil Young would disagree.
