Honor Was Their Code.
Joe Enders is a gung-ho Marine assigned to protect a "windtalker" - one of several Navajo Indians who were used to relay messages during World War II because their spoken language was indecipherable to Japanese code breakers.
German (Deutsch)
Im Pazifikkrieg werden die Marines Joe Enders und „Ox“ Henderson per Geheimbefehl abgestellt, als eine Art Leibwächter für die Funker Ben Yahzee und Charlie Whitehorse zu fungieren. Die beiden Navajos beherrschen einen speziellen Code, der auf keinen Fall in die Hände der Feinde gelangen darf. Die erbitterten Kämpfe um die Insel Saipan schweissen die Männer zusammen. Und es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis die beiden Beschützer der Code-Sprecher mit einer furchtbaren Frage konfrontiert werden: Würden sie wirklich bis zum Äussersten gehen, um den Code zu schützen?
French (Français)
En 1944, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, face à l'ennemi japonais, les États-Unis ont utilisé une méthode de codage : le langage Navajo, uniquement compris et parlé par certains soldats indiens. Ces code talkers transmettaient les messages codés entre les bases américaines disséminées sur les îles du Pacifique. Le marine Joe Enders sort blessé d'une bataille sanglante sur les îles Salamon. Après avoir récupéré dans un hôpital, il est chargé d'une nouvelle mission consistant à assurer la sécurité de deux soldats navajos, Ben Yahzee et Charlie Whitehorse, et à protéger le code à tout prix pour l'empêcher de tomber aux mains de l'ennemi. En clair : sacrifier, si besoin est, leurs frères d'armes. Durant ce périple, Joe se voit accompagner d'Ox Anderson et d'autres soldats. En pleine bataille de Saïpan, des liens d'amitié se tissent entre les Navajos et leurs anges gardiens.
Italian (Italiano)
Durante la seconda Guerra Mondiale la lingua navajo era usata per codificare i messaggi top secret impedendo ai giapponesi di decifrarli. La soluzione più semplice per gli orientali era di assicurarsi i servigi dei navajo di stanza presso l'esercito americano. Per cautelarsi da questo rischio a questi soldati vennero assegnate addirittura delle guardie del corpo militari che li uccidessero in caso di estremo pericolo...
