"dressed in American uniforms,
it became necessary
“要求每个人出示身份证件
"to demand identification papers
from everybody.
“但对于有色人种部队这只是形式
"But with colored troops,
it was only a matter of form,
“因为就我们所知德军没有有人人种士兵
"since the Germans have no known
colored soldiers.
“很多次我被拦下
"I was halted many times,
但我的脸就是最好的身份证”
but my face
was my best identification."
奥利.斯图尔特《巴尔的摩黑人报》
Ollie Stewart,
The Baltimore Afro-American.
我认为我们
I think that we went
会有一次非凡的经历
to have a great experience.
突然间我们有了
And all of a sudden
we were having
远超预想的非凡经历
more of a great experience
than we really had reckoned for.
伯内特.米勒加州萨克拉门托
当然我们也怕死
Uh, we were scared
to death, of course.
来自萨克拉门托的伯内特.米勒在伯特.威尔逊家
Burnett Miller of Sacramento,
who had been raised a few blocks
几个街区之外的地方长大
from where Burt Wilson lived,
他是装甲11师第21装甲步兵营
was a private in the 21st
Armored Infantry Battalion,
的一名列兵
11th Armored Division.
他是受命进入阿登高地营救巴斯托涅
He was among the thousands
of American troops
并把德国人赶回去的
ordered into the Ardennes
数千人美国部队中的一员
to relieve Bastogne
and drive the Germans back.
那将是米勒第一次真实的战争体验
It would be Miller's
first real taste of war.
我们越过法国
We crossed France,
穿过比利时部分地区
went through parts of Belgium
在一场大暴风雪中进攻凸出部
and hit the Bulge
in a big snowstorm.
我们的车辆几乎寸步难行
Our vehicles
became almost inoperable.
坦克一辆接一辆被炸毁
And the tanks, one after
another, were blown up,
我们可以看到到处都是
and we could see dead tankers
死去的和受伤寻找掩护的坦克手
and wounded tankers running
for cover all over the place.
那景象惨不忍♥睹
That was not a pretty sight.
我们脱离这些道路
We bailed out of these tracks
开始在雪地里跑
and started running
through the snow
想找到某些掩护..
to get some kind of coverage...
..竟然撤退到一座山上
...and actually retreated
back up onto a hill,
在地上挖坑在暴风雪中过了一夜
dug in and spent that night
in a big snowstorm.
我们湿透了我想
We were wet, and I thought,
“天呐我觉得我们在劫难逃”
"Boy, I don't think
we can make it."
那天晚上到处都是曳光弹..
And that night there were tracer
bullets all over...
炮火密集非常可怕
lots of artillery...
very, very scary.
你会自我解脱似乎除了被杀就不会
And you'd rationalize things,
like nothing worse can happen
有什么坏事发生
but getting killed.
但..确实有比被杀更糟的事
But there... there were things
worse than being killed.
在阿登高地战斗和牺牲仍在继续
In the Ardennes, the
fighting and the dying went on.
那是记忆中最冷的冬天
It was the coldest winter
in memory.
很多士兵没有防寒靴或冬装
Many men were without winter
boots or winter coats.
数千人因冻伤失去了手指、脚趾和双腿
Thousands lost fingers,
toes or feet to frostbite.
我们很多装备不是很好
Lots of our
equipment wasn't very good.
我们总是冻脚
We always had frozen feet
因为我们的鞋真的非常糟糕
because our shoes were really
very, very poor.
你知道我们参加凸出部战役
Also, you know, we went to,
into combat in the Bulge
竟穿着和去伦敦时同样的大衣
in the same overcoats
we went to London in
这东西大而笨重极不舒服
and they were big, bulky,
miserable things
还会湿透
that would get wet.
很快我就去寻找德国战俘
And pretty soon we were looking
或德军尸体
for German prisoners
or German dead.
他们穿着上好的白色毛皮夹克棒极了
They had nice, white, bunny fur
jackets that were just terrific,
不仅舒服暖和而且是白色迷彩
not only comfortable and warm,
but were white and camouflaged.
我想能保持士气是因为你和人们在一起
Morale, I thought, kept
up because you were with people.
当你跟其他大兵待在雪地里受苦
That as long as you were
with other GIs in the snow
赫恩登.英奇亚拉巴马州莫比尔
如果有人在你身旁
and in the misery,
if you had somebody next to you,
你会想“嗯既然他们能行那我也行”
you figured, "Well, they can
handle it, I can handle it."
你只能..继续向前
You just, uh...
keep moving ahead.
在接下来的混战中
In the chaotic
fighting that followed,
一些镇子四度易手
some towns changed hands
four times.
平民们藏在地窖里
Civilians hid in cellars
而他们头顶上的家被摧毁了
as their homes were destroyed
above them.
盟军部队必须一寸一寸的夺回
Allied troops had to recapture
the ground they had lost
失去的冻土有时收复的散兵坑
inch by frozen inch,
sometimes reoccupying foxholes
正是几周前他们被迫离开的
they'd been forced from
just a few weeks earlier.
美军平均每天损失1600人
The Americans lost an average
of 1,600 men a day.

Private First Class Domenic
DeRosimo of Waterbury

and Private First Class Jesse
Leon Hattenstien of Mobile.
那些死去或受伤的人被成千上万的
Those who were killed
and wounded were replaced
青年军所取代..大多数是高中生
by thousands of green troops...
mostly high-school boys...
他们仓促通过了基本训练
who had been rushed through
basic training.
许多替补兵在长官知道他们名字之前死去
Many replacements died before
officers could learn their names
取而代之的是更加害怕的新人
and were replaced by still more
frightened newcomers.
我有一个朋友宣称
I had a friend who claimed
他经过6周训练给他一支步♥枪♥
he was sent
into the Battle of the Bulge
就被送去参加凸出部战役
with six weeks' training
and a new rifle.
格雷拉普说要不是他这辈子都在打松鼠
Graylap said if he had not been
shootin' squirrels all his life,
他可能早就没命了
he would have
been completely lost.
但他像猎松鼠一样射杀德国人
But he shot the Germans
like he would squirrels
就这么简单
and that was it.
一些军官命令手下不要抓德国俘虏
Some officers ordered their
men to take no German prisoners.
美军在马尔默迪的大屠♥杀♥
The memory of the massacre
of American troops
仍然记忆犹新
at Malmedy remained fresh.
我们在一个小镇子受阻
We had been held
up at a little town.
我们本来只是路过
We were supposed
to just walk through it,
但德军突然挡住了我们
and the Germans stopped us dead.
我们就是无法通过
We just couldn't crack it.
开火！
Fire!
最后大炮来了..
Eventually artillery came in...
将房♥屋夷为平地
sort of leveled the houses.
他们最终投降了
They finally surrendered,
他们排着队走出来
