a very substantial advance
和东京的道路上
along the roads
that lead to Berlin
取得重大进展
and Rome and Tokyo.
无论和平还是战争时期
A tremendous, costly,
long enduring task,
一个巨大、昂贵而长♥期♥的任务
in peace as well as in war,
仍然摆在我们面前
is still ahead of us.
但当我们面对这个持续的任务时
But as we face
that continuing task,
我们可能清楚这个国家状况良好
we may know that the state
of this nation is good,
这个国家核心稳固
the heart of this nation
is sound,
这个国家精神强大
the spirit of this nation
is strong,
这个国家信仰永恒
the faith of this nation
is eternal.
罗斯福的声音
Roosevelt carried
传达出一种真正自信的讯息
a real message
of confidence with his voice.
他给了我们所有人信心
He gave us all the confidence
凯瑟琳.菲利普斯亚拉巴马州莫比尔
可以做任何他要求我们做的事
that we could do
anything he asked us to do,
确信小伙子们能做任何他要求他们做的事
and certainly the boys could do
anything he asked them to do.
他是强大的推动力
And he was the powerful
driving force.
现在英国有丘吉尔
Now, England had Churchill...
而我们有罗斯福
...but we had Roosevelt.
从他宣布珍珠港遇袭
And, from the time
he announced Pearl Harbor
和宣布我们要参战那时起
and announced
that we would go to war,
我们都支持他
we were all behind him.
第二集
第二集
《艰难的日子》
幸运的是
The lucky thing was that...
美军初尝战争滋味并非如一些人所期望的
the American army didn't get
its first taste of battle
横渡英吉利海峡作战
going across the channel, the
way some people wanted us to.
他们不得不经历北非战事
They had to go through that...
that North African thing,
那是学习的经历也是非常昂贵的经验
which was a learning experience
and a very expensive one.
我们的军队变得棒极了
Our army got to be goddamn good,
但一开始他们和任何人一样
but at the beginning
they were like anybody else...
并不善于打仗
they weren't too good at it.
1943年1月在卡萨布兰卡的盟军会议上
At an Allied conference
in Casablanca in January 1943,
摄影机前一切就绪
everything went well
for the cameras,
罗斯福总统
and President Roosevelt
和英国首相温斯顿.丘吉尔
and British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill
宣布他们只接受
announced they would accept
nothing less
敌人的无条件投降
than unconditional surrender
from the enemy.
...无条件投降
...unconditional surrender.
但背地里两个人都忧心忡忡
But behind the scenes,
both men were concerned.
盟军仍在努力寻找合作的方法
The Allies were still trying
to find ways to work together.
之前的11月
The previous November,
德怀特.艾森豪威尔率领的盟军部队
Allied troops
under General Dwight Eisenhower
已在摩洛哥和阿尔及利亚协同登陆
had made coordinated landings
in Morocco and Algeria
未遇到多少抵抗
without meeting much resistance.
但希♥特♥勒♥在临近的突尼斯加强了军力
But Hitler strengthened his
forces in neighboring Tunisia.
艾森豪威尔的军队打算
Eisenhower's troops
were meant to race east
向东疾进迎敌
to engage the enemy,
而英军伯纳德.蒙哥马利将军
while British General
Bernard Montgomery
及其第八军
and his Eighth Army
从埃及向西追击德军埃尔温·隆美尔
pursued German General
Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps
将军的非洲军团
westward from Egypt.
毗邻意属利比亚的突尼斯
Tunisia,
next-door to Italian Libya,
位于轴心国♥军♥队的后方
is at the rear of the Axis army.
它是钳形运动战美军一侧的
It's the next objective
for the American half
下一个目标当英国从东面猛攻时
of the nutcracker campaign,
closing in on Rommel
美军从西面逼近隆美尔军
from the west as the British
smash from the east.
作战目标是把轴心国赶出北非
The aim is to chase the Axis
out of North Africa,
威胁意大利
threaten Italy
和欧洲的其他纳粹占领区
and other Nazi-dominated
territories in Europe,
打开通往俄♥国♥的更短的供应线
and open shorter supply lines
to Russia.
这就是美军开赴突尼斯的意图
That's the meaning
of the American drive to Tunis.
经过2个月的零星战斗
After two months
of sporadic fighting,
北非战役突然激烈起来
the battle for North Africa
suddenly intensified.
2月14日隆美尔派经验丰富的老兵对垒
On February 14, Rommel sent
his seasoned veterans
未受考验、指挥无方、装备糟糕的美军
against the untested, poorly
led, and ill-equipped Americans.
他说他的目标是使他们产生
His goal, he said,
was to instill in them
“一种混乱无序的自卑感”
"an inferiority complex
of no mean order."
一段时间里
And for a time,
他成功了
he succeeded.
三等兵查尔斯.曼随军征战
With the American forces
was Private Charles Mann,
他是明尼苏达州卢温一位农场主的儿子
a farmer's son
from Luverne, Minnesota.
我想你觉得害怕是好事
It was good, I
guess, that you were afraid,
但这并不妨碍你真实的想法
but it did not interfere with
what your real thinking was
查尔斯.曼明尼苏达州卢温
因为你有个想法
because you had one idea
那就是你会挺过来的
and that was that you
was gonna make it.
隆美尔军迅速击败美军
Rommel's forces quickly
overwhelmed the Americans
美军的装甲无法同德军的装甲抗衡
whose armor proved no match
for German panzers.
一些战士把盟军坦克叫作“朗生”
Some soldiers called
the Allied tanks "Ronsons,"
得名于一种打火机
after the cigarette lighter,
因为它们被击中时会瞬间起火燃烧
for their propensity to burst
instantly into flame when hit.
斯图卡俯冲轰炸机尖啸着冲向美军
Stuka dive-bombers screamed
down upon the Americans.
一些人中弹其他人惊慌失措
Some men held, others panicked.
幸存者们穿过开阔平原向西逃去
Survivors fled westward
across the open plain.
他们一口气跑出50英里
They would not stop
for 5O miles.
他们根本不知道自己在做什么
They didn't know
what the hell they were doing.
这帮家伙此前从没受到过攻击
Guys never been
under fire before,
当他们遇袭时不知道该怎么办
and, uh, when they got hit,
they didn't know what to do,
他们撤退
and they retreated,
他们的领导能力很差
and they had terrible
leadership.
真是一团糟
It was chaos.
战争永远是一团糟
And war's always chaos.
那儿的美军指挥官
The commander
of the American troops there
显然是个懦夫
was a visible coward.
保罗.福赛尔步兵
他在一个...
He built a... a, uh...
岩洞里给自己设了一个指挥部
headquarters for himself
in a rock chamber
离前线约20英里
some 20 miles back from the line
理由是在那里他可以更好的联络
With the argument that he could
