could be landed there,
因为德军仍守着
because the Germans
still held the estuary
这个城市与北海之间的河口
that lay between the city
and the North Sea.
艾森豪威尔命令
Eisenhower ordered
英军的伯纳德.蒙哥马利将军
British General
Bernard Montgomery
把他们赶走
to clear them out.
那要花上几个星期
That would have taken weeks,
蒙哥马利提出一个大胆的替代方案
and Montgomery proposed
a daring alternative
旨在加快盟军进入德国的速度——
designed to speed the Allied
advance into Germany...
市场花♥园♥行动
Operation Market Garden.
首先美英空降部队会被投放到
First, American and British
airborne troops would be dropped
德军防线后面
behind German lines
夺取从比利时穿越荷兰直到阿纳姆的
to seize bridges
along a 65-mile highway
65英里高速公路沿线的桥梁
from Belgium, through Holland
to Arnhem.
接着英军第2集团军将沿高速公路疾进
Then, the British Second Army
would race along that highway,
在阿纳姆越过莱茵河
cross the Rhine at Arnhem,
绕过西墙防线的北端
go around the northern end
of the West Wall,
挺进鲁尔河谷
and drive into the Ruhr Valley,
那是德国工业力量的中心
the center
of German industrial might.
为使冒险计划取得成功
For the risky plan to succeed,
一切必须完美而
everything had to go perfectly
快速的进行
and quickly.
艾森豪威尔认为这场赌博是值得的
Eisenhower thought
the gamble was worth it.
如果成功战争可以在几周内结束
If it did succeed,
the war could end in weeks.
他后来说“我不但赞成市场花♥园♥行动
"I not only approved
of Market Garden."
而且我很坚持”
he said later,
"I insisted on it."

9月17日星期天 1481架C-47运输机
On Sunday, September 17,
1,481 C-47 transports
大白天从英国24个机场起飞
took off in broad daylight
from 24 British airfields
载着2万名空降兵
with 20,000 paratroopers
on board.
运输机后拖着数百架CG-4A滑翔机
Towed behind the transports
were hundreds of CG-4A gliders
载有人员和物资
carrying men and matériel.
哈里.施密特加州萨克拉门托
我们谈谈军用滑翔机——CG-4A
Let's talk about
the combat glider... the CG-4A.
它翼展85英尺
An 85-foot wingspan.
可以载重1吨♥半
It would carry a ton
and a half...
3千磅...外加前面的2名飞行员
3,000 pounds...
plus the two pilots up front.
但这些滑翔机是飞行棺材
But they were flying coffins.
我是说它有去无回
I mean, there was no return, so,
设计思路是把人员放下
the idea was
to get your people down
或是卸下负载无论是什么
or get your load down,
whatever it is,
然后你就成了一名步兵我们就是这样
and then become an infantryman,
which is what we became.
来自萨克拉门托的哈里.施密特
Harry Schmid of Sacramento
had been studying accounting
1942年应征入伍时正在学会计
when he was drafted in 1942,
起初计划当一名医务兵
and first planned
to become a medic.
但后来他说
But then, he said,
他不想在整个战争期间换便盆
he didn't want to change bedpans
for the whole war,
于是志愿做了飞行员
and volunteered
to become a pilot.
当他的弱视使他无法进入战斗机驾驶舱时
When his weak eyes kept him out
of a fighter cockpit,
他只好转投第82空降师飞滑翔机
he settled for flying a glider
with the 82nd Airborne instead,
并参与到市场花♥园♥行动之中
and found himself part
of Operation Market Garden.
来自莫比尔的达文.卢斯上尉
Captain Dwain Luce of Mobile
也坐着滑翔机奔赴荷兰
was also on his way to Holland
aboard a glider.
作为两个幼童的父亲
The father
of two small children,
他丢下家族的罐头生意
he had left his family's
cannery business
在战争开始时加入了第82空降师
to join the 82nd Airborne
when the war started,
在西西里、意大利和诺曼底
and had survived Sicily
and Italy
33天的战斗中幸存下来
and 33 days of fighting
in Normandy.
我在北海上空降落
I got out over
the North Sea there,
飞行员带着降落伞
and that pilot
had a parachute on.
我对他说
I told him, I said,
“听着你最好别带降落伞
"Look, you might as well take
that parachute off,
因为你不能扔下我自己离开”
because you're not
leaving here without me."
达文.卢斯阿♥拉♥巴马州莫比尔
嗯...我说
And, uh, I... uh... I said,
“要是你中弹了谁来让这玩意着陆？”
"Now, you get your ass shot,
who's going to land this thing?"
他说“你啊”
He says, "You are."
CG-4A速度太快会让你丢掉性命
Too fast a speed
with a CG-4A will kill you,
因为说起来这就是一架布面飞机
because you're talking
about a fabric airplane
除了一点铝合金支柱
with nothing
but little aluminum struts.
这些人以90英里每小时的速度坐在里面
And these guys come in
at 90 miles an hour
然后撞上什么东西天啊就粉身碎骨了
and crash into something and,
boy, they just disintegrate.
在我所有的战斗任务中
In all my combat missions,
我的速度从没超过50英里每小时
I never came in at more
than 50 miles an hour.
我冒着被地面炮火和高射炮击中的危险
I took the chance of getting hit
by ground fire and flak,
但我想载着机上的人降落在地面上
but I wanted to get my people
down and get down on the ground.
这是爱德华.R.莫罗
This is Edward R. Murrow.
只要约30秒
In just about 30 seconds now...
这19个人将踏上荷兰的土地
these 19 men
will walk out onto Dutch soil.
他跳出去了听到他们的喊声吗？
There he goes!
Do you hear 'em shout?
3、4、5、6、7、8...
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15...
16, 17, 18...
他们跳出去了每个人
There they go. Every man out.
现在我可以看到他们的伞落下去
I can see their chutes
going down now.
每个人跳离飞机
Every man clear...
优雅的挂在空中
hanging there very gracefully,
简直就像挂在绿色灯罩下的
like nothing so much
as khaki dolls
卡其布娃娃
hanging beneath
a green lampshade.
天空布满了降落伞
The whole sky is filled
with parachutes.
他们全都非常缓慢的降落
They're all going down
so slowly.
似乎他们应该更快到达地面
It seems as though they should
get to the ground much faster...
一开始进展顺利
Things went well at first.
荷兰居民涌上街头
Dutch citizens poured
into the streets
迎接美军
to greet the Americans.
第82空降师包括哈里.施密特
The 82nd Airborne,
including Harry Schmid
和达文.卢斯
and Dwain Luce,
占领了奈梅亨附近的3座桥梁然后挖战壕
seized three bridges
near Nijmegen, then dug in
等待英军装甲部队从比利时赶来
and waited for the British armor
to race up from Belgium
接替他们
and relieve them.
第101空降师夺取了
The 101st Airborne took
埃因霍温附近的4座桥梁
