Part 2/6:
In the early days of military communication, soldiers relied on wired radios or shouted signals across distances, which were often unreliable and impractical during combat. The invention of the walkie-talkie provided a untethered, portable solution that enabled troops to communicate effectively in the field without being physically connected to a base or each other with wires.
The device was designed to be lightweight and durable, allowing soldiers to carry it in their gear and maintain real-time contact with command centers or fellow troops. Its ability to facilitate instant communication was a significant tactical advantage, helping to coordinate troop movements and respond swiftly to changing battlefield situations.
