53 - THE QUIET GENIUS WHO CRACKED JAPAN'S SECRETS | Capt. Joseph Rochefort (Cryptographer) | WWII

It’s a true injustice when our illustrious heroes are purposely “cancelled” because of the too-common curse of professional jealousy and power politics.   Sadly, it’s even more prevalent today and why a large majority of Americans no longer trust our media.   For one of America’s finest cryptographers, a man who singlehandedly saved the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet and delivered the Japanese Navy to American dive bombers at the Battle of Midway, was actually punished for his life-saving accomplishments.   His name was Captain Joseph J. Rochefort, a brilliant, yet soft-spoken Navy officer who preferred fuzzy slippers to regulation dress shoes and worked at all hours—sometimes 24/7—in his bathrobe.   There, in what he called “the Dungeon,” “Station HYPO” at Pearl Harbor, he and his team successfully broke the rock-solid Japanese naval codes wide-open, turning the tide of war.   This is his incredible, inspiring story.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> HEROES FOR FREEDOM MANUALS (Volumes 1-3) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE: 52 - THE UNION'S "INFANT" HERO WHO WOULDN'T GO HOME | Johnny Clem (9yrs) | Civil War *VETERAN'S DAY SPECIAL* 25 - THE HEROES WHO REBUILT OUR DESTROYED U.S. NAVY | Engineers & Rescue Divers (U.S. Navy) | WWII 14 - AMERICA'S FORGOTTEN WARRIORS | Navajo Code Talkers (Marines) | WWII   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: [email protected] -Find our video episodes on YouTube   World War II / US Navy / Japan’s Naval Code JN-25 / Battle of Midway / Code Breakers / Station HYPO / Japanese Navy / Cover Up / Heroes For Freedom
