Then a good night's sleep -- soft sleeping on flax.''

It was a feeling that, ''By golly, any nation that can produce all of these things, ship them all the way across the Atlantic, all the way across France and chase the German, this was a country that could do anything.''

有一种感觉，“天哪，任何一个能够生产所有这些东西的国家，将它们一路运送到大西洋彼岸，一路穿过法国，追赶德国人，这就是一个无所不能的国家。”

We had a grand ride right across France -- we were not held up anywhere -- and we went all the way onto the Siegfried line.

David McCullough : [voice-over] The German counterattack was conceived and planned by one man, the Reichsfuhrer Adolf Hitler.

He thought he had spies in his staff, but he did the one thing that made it impossible to do anything with it and that is shut up -- radio silence, in effect.

Kinnard, Colonel, 101st Airborne : We had a preconception that they were unable to launch a counterattack and they did everything they could to make us believe that.

第 101 空降师金纳德上校：我们有一种先入为主的观念，认为他们无法发起反击，但他们竭尽全力让我们相信这一点。

In fact, he had retreated to an underground bunker, but off from even his highest commanders, pouring over maps, planning his last great attack down to the smallest detail.

事实上，他已经撤退到一个地下掩体中，但甚至远离了他的最高指挥官，他仔细研究地图，计划着他最后一次伟大的进攻，一丝不苟。

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : The Battle of the Bulge -- the base of it, really -- was an 80-mile front running from southern Belgium down to Ettelbruck in the middle of Luxembourg, the Ardennes forest here between my thumb and forefinger.

奥利弗·巴顿 (Oliver Patton)，第 106 步兵团少尉：突出部战役——实际上是战役的基地——是一条 80 英里的战线，从比利时南部一直延伸到卢森堡中部的埃特尔布鲁克，这里是我拇指和食指之间的阿登森林。

Hitler's concept was to attack on that 80-mile front, swing north and seize the port of Antwerp.

希特勒的想法是攻击那条80英里的战线，然后向北转向并夺取安特卫普港。

哈索·冯·曼陀菲尔（Hasso von Manteuffel）是少数被告知的人之一。

The Prussian general went to the Ardennes front to take the measure of the U.S. division he was to attack.

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : Now, the 28th, of all the four on the line, was the most thinly spread, so thinly spread and literally during the day they outposted across the border into Germany, but come dark, they came back over the river.

奥利弗·巴顿 (Oliver Patton)，第 106 步兵团少尉：现在，第 28 步兵团是前线所有四个步兵团中分布最薄弱的一个，实际上，他们在白天越过边境进入德国，但天黑了，他们就渡河回来了。

Von Manteufel came down, got in the front line, watched this process and said, ''Hell, man, we don't need an hour's artillery preparation on these guys.

冯·曼特菲尔下来，来到前线，看着这个过程，然后说：“天哪，伙计，我们不需要对这些家伙进行一个小时的炮火准备。”

The smart thing to do is walk through them while they're just getting up and having breakfast because there are big gaps between these outposts and we'll walk through them and when we hit resistance, then we'll call in the artillery.''

明智的做法是在他们刚起床吃早餐的时候穿过它们，因为这些前哨基地之间有很大的间隙，我们会穿过它们，当我们遇到抵抗时，我们就会呼叫炮兵。”

Roger Rutland, First Sergeant, 106th Infantry : We arrived there on December 11th.

罗杰·拉特兰 (Roger Rutland)，第 106 步兵团中士：我们于 12 月 11 日抵达那里。

We had been told that the division that was there before us had been there five to six weeks and had only had two casualties in that time, so we expected for it to be a quiet front.

我们被告知，在我们之前驻扎的师已经在那里呆了五到六个星期，并且在那段时间里只造成了两人伤亡，所以我们预计这是一个安静的前线。

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : We thought just what they told us.

奥利弗·巴顿 (Oliver Patton)，第 106 步兵团少尉：我们的想法正是他们告诉我们的。

''You're here on a quiet front to do patrols.'' You learn your trade.

“你在一个安静的前线巡逻。”你学习你的手艺。

You get your feet wet, and it's not a situation of any great urgency.

你把脚弄湿了，这并不是什么紧急的情况。

The Second Division, whom we replaced-- the Second said to us, ''Man, this is the ghost front.

我们取代的第二师——第二师对我们说，‘伙计，这是幽灵前线。

There's nothing out there.''

外面什么也没有。”

Marguerite Lindenmeyer, of Luxembourg : [through interpreter] We saw that something was going on -- lots of German military everywhere in the streets, but not on the main roads.

有机枪、坦克、卡车、大炮。

You can't name it all, but lots, lots of equipment.

你无法说出全部的名字，但有很多很多的设备。

David McCullough : [voice-over] Marguerite Lindenmeyer was a Luxembourger who'd been picked up by a German patrol and taken behind enemy lines.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]玛格丽特·林登迈尔是一名卢森堡人，被德国巡逻队抓到敌后。

Marguerite Lindenmeyer：[通过翻译]我们并没有暴露自己是卢森堡人。

We posed as Germans from Bauler.

我们冒充来自鲍勒的德国人。

They told us that if we possibly could to get away because something was about to happen.

他们告诉我们，如果我们能逃走的话，因为有事情即将发生。

They didn't know when, but they said, ''Something is going to happen.

他们不知道什么时候，但他们说，“有些事情将会发生。”

Something's going to happen for sure.

肯定会发生一些事情。

We're vollen nieder nacht Paris ,'' they said, ''We're on our way to Paris.''

我们是 vollen nieder nacht Paris，”他们说，“我们正在去巴黎的路上。”

David McCullough : [voice-over] Lindenmeyer made her way back across the border to Luxembourg and reported what she'd seen to the American forces.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]林登迈尔穿越边境返回卢森堡，并向美军报告了她所看到的情况。

Intelligence officers passed the reports up to the line of command and warned of a German build-up.

情报官员将报告向上级传递，并警告德军正在集结。

The warnings were dismissed.

警告被驳回。

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : We did hear tanks moving, trucks moving, all sorts of noises indicative of the assembly of strength and when we reported it, we were told -- from Corps, I think, certainly from Division -- ''They're playing phonograph records.

奥利弗·巴顿，第 106 步兵团少尉：我们确实听到了坦克移动、卡车移动以及各种表明兵力集结的声音，当我们报告时，我们被告知——我想来自军团，当然也来自师——“他们正在播放留声机唱片。”

They know we're a green division and they're just trying to put the scare on you.''

他们知道我们是绿色部门，他们只是想吓唬你。”

And I'm sure they had played phonograph records of tank movement before and gotten some result.

我确信他们以前播放过坦克运动的留声机唱片并取得了一些成果。

These weren't phonograph records, they were tanks, but we accepted that because of our mindset that, ''These people can't really launch a serious attack.''

这些不是留声机唱片，它们是坦克，但我们接受了这一点，因为我们的心态是，“这些人无法真正发动严重的攻击。”

Guy Franz Arend, ''Nuts'' Museum, Bastogne : [through interpreter] It was an atmosphere of jubilation.

Guy Franz Arend，巴斯托涅“坚果”博物馆：[通过翻译]这是一种欢乐的气氛。

Every evening in every village in every town, there was a ball -- dances there were organized by the local population or by the Americans themselves.

每天晚上，每个城镇的每个村庄都会举行舞会——由当地居民或美国人自己组织的舞会。

The best way to sum up that situation is this: husbands were even proud to see their wives flirting with the Americans who, believe me, did not hold back at all.

总结这种情况的最好方式是：丈夫们甚至会自豪地看到他们的妻子与美国人调情，相信我，美国人根本没有退缩。

Jannye Marx : [through interpreter] The word went 'round: the Americans are collecting all their rations to give a party for the children on December 6th, St. Nicholas Day.

Jannye Marx：[通过翻译]消息传开：美国人正在收集所有口粮，准备在 12 月 6 日圣尼古拉斯日为孩子们举办一场派对。

Mother Superior came into class to tell us about it and that two of us could be his angels, and I was one of them.

院长嬷嬷来到课堂上告诉我们这件事，我们两个人可以成为他的天使，而我就是其中之一。

We were put into a Jeep and driven through the whole town.

When we were ready to go home, St. Nicholas took each one of us angels in his lap and gave us a kiss.

那天，一条消息传给了第5装甲集团军：“西线的士兵们，你们的伟大时刻已经到来。”

Ben Kimmelman, Captain, 28th Infantry : I was a Division Special Troops dental officer and I was stationed about 10 miles from the front in Wiltz, Luxembourg.

Ben Kimmelman，第 28 步兵团上尉：我是一名特种部队牙医军官，驻扎在距前线约 10 英里的卢森堡威尔茨。

And Sergeant Paul Gifford was late.

保罗·吉福德中士迟到了。

And I sort of was a wise guy and I told him he's late and he said, ''Well, Captain, I'm sorry, but I lost my tank.'' And I said, ''Boy, they're expensive as hell.

我是个聪明人，我告诉他他迟到了，他说，“好吧，船长，我很抱歉，但我把我的坦克弄丢了。”我说，“天哪，它们太贵了。”

You better go get that tank,'' and he said, ''Well, the Germans took it.'' I said, ''Well, now you better go back and get that tank.

你最好去拿那辆坦克，”他说，“好吧，德国人拿走了它。”我说，“好吧，现在你最好回去拿那辆坦克。

I mean, you can't go losing a tank to the Germans 'cause it's bad business.''

我的意思是，你不能把一辆坦克输给德国人，因为这是一件糟糕的事情。”

So I got the usual laughter and I said, ''What happened to Colonel So-and-so?

于是我得到了平常的笑声，我说：“某某上校怎么了？”

He's going to give it to you.'' He said, ''He lost his artillery piece.'' I said, ''What's happening?'' He said, ''The Germans are pushing.'' Division headquarters, of which I was a part, was aware that there were now an increase in the artillery-- enemy artillery fire and all that, but nothing terribly dramatic except there was a hush that seemed-- really and truly, you could feel a hush as though the civilians sensed what we didn't comprehend.

他会把它给你。”他说，“他丢了大炮。”我说，“发生了什么事？”他说，“德国人正在推进。”我所在的师总部意识到现在炮兵数量有所增加——敌人的炮火等等，但没有什么特别戏剧性的，除了似乎有一种安静——真的，你可以感觉到一种安静尽管平民们意识到了我们所不理解的事情。

Norm Plumb, Private, 28th Infantry : We were going to Ettelbruck to play for the troops, and we begin to see all these soldiers that they brought in there, GI's that were all banged up and wounded.

第 28 步兵团列兵 Norm Plumb：我们要去埃特尔布鲁克为部队效力，我们开始看到他们带到那里的所有士兵，都是被撞伤的大兵。

So we went to inquire and see what it had planned, and there were so many wounded soldiers lying in this hospital while they called off our performance because there was too many-- it was the beginning of the Bulge.

于是我们就去打听，看看它有什么计划，这家医院里躺着这么多伤兵，而他们取消了我们的演出，因为太多了——这就是突出的开始。

We didn't know it at the time.

我们当时并不知道。

Clyde Burkholder, Private, 28th Infantry : Yeah, that's right.

克莱德·伯克霍尔德（Clyde Burkholder），第 28 步兵团列兵：是的，没错。

That was the beginning of it.

这就是事情的开始。

Norm Plumb, Private, 28th Infantry : The shells were flying all night long as we were trying to sleep and when we come down the next morning, that was something else.

第 28 步兵团列兵 Norm Plumb：我们正想睡觉时，炮弹整夜都在飞舞，而当我们第二天早上下来时，情况又是另一回事了。

They said, ''How'd you sleep?'' ''Not very good,'' you know.

他们说，“你睡得怎么样？”“睡得不太好，”你知道。

Roger Rutland, First Sergeant, 106th Infantry : I went to bed and the next morning at six o'clock, one of my messengers came over to waken me and he said, ''Everything's poppin' loose,'' and I said-- I told this man to-- ''Oh, go on and leave me alone,'' I said.

罗杰·拉特兰，第 106 步兵团中士：我上床睡觉，第二天早上六点，我的一个信使过来叫醒我，他说，“一切都松了，”我说——我告诉这个人——“哦，继续吧，别打扰我，”我说。

And then, at that time, I heard the screamin' meemies start coming in, the artillery and all types of artillery.

然后，就在那时，我听到尖叫声开始进来，大炮和各种类型的大炮。

That was December 16th.

If you could see a bunch of wild cattle running wild, that's what it reminds you of.

如果你能看到一群野牛在狂奔，那就是它让你想起的。

I believe they were doped.

我相信他们被服用了兴奋剂。

I believe that the German soldiers were doped to a certain extent, because they were-- they were acting as if, ''I don't care if I get killed or not.'' They were like wild men.

我相信德国士兵在一定程度上服用了兴奋剂，因为他们的表现就好像，“我不在乎我是否会被杀。”他们就像野人一样。

That's the best I could describe it of that first night.

这是我对第一个晚上的最好的描述。

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : I thought that my division had been hit by what we'd been taught in the fancy language of military academy books as ''a spoiling attack,'' and that it just amounted to getting our act together and we'd throw them out.

奥利弗·巴顿 (Oliver Patton)，第 106 步兵团少尉：我以为我的师受到了军事院校书籍中用花哨的语言所教导的“破坏性攻击”的打击，这相当于我们齐心协力，然后把他们赶出去。

I certainly never believed that we'd been hit by a force that was really going to tear us up, never.

我当然从来不相信我们会被一种真正会撕裂我们的力量击中，从来没有。

David McCullough : [voice-over] The men on the front line were hunkered in foxholes, cut off from each other.

It's really hard to believe, but it happened.

真的很难相信，但它确实发生了。

And some of my better men in garrison were some of the first men to crack under combat conditions.

我驻军中的一些优秀士兵是最先在战斗条件下战斗的士兵。

They were like hugging each other and just shivering, from scared.

他们就像拥抱在一起一样，因为害怕而颤抖。

They never had seen such a thing before.

他们以前从未见过这样的事情。

David McCullough : [voice-over] Dwight Eisenhower and Omar Bradley, the two most powerful commanders in Europe, got word of the attack on the 16th at Versailles, but the news had little impact that first day.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]德怀特·艾森豪威尔和奥马尔·布拉德利这两位欧洲最有权势的指挥官16日得到了凡尔赛袭击的消息，但这一消息在第一天影响不大。

And I remember General Bradley walking up into the War Room that afternoon, looking at the map, and he said, ''Where in the world has this son of a bitch gotten all of this stuff?'' He preceded that by saying, ''Pardon my French.'' He was a mild-mannered man in his speech.

我记得那天下午，布拉德利将军走进作战室，看着地图，他说：“这个王八蛋到底是从哪里得到这些东西的？”他在这之前说，“请原谅我的法语。”他在演讲中是一个彬彬有礼的人。

But, yes, everyone was genuinely surprised by the force of the German attack at that point.

但是，是的，每个人都对当时德国进攻的力量感到惊讶。

Ben Kimmelman, Captain, 28th Infantry : By Monday, refugees were streaming down the streets with their household possessions, and their faces are absolutely grim and there's no greetings of any kind.

本·金梅尔曼（Ben Kimmelman），第 28 步兵团上尉：到了周一，难民带着他们的家当涌上街道，他们的脸色非常严峻，没有任何形式的问候。

And you know that you're looking at a classic kind of thing, refugees before the enemy.

你知道你看到的是一种经典的事情，即难民先于敌人。

And one of the first things I did was to go up to headquarters up the hill and there it looked as though it was a recently disturbed anthill.

我做的第一件事就是去山上的总部，那里看起来就像是最近受到干扰的蚁丘。

People were running in all directions.

人们四散奔逃。

Soldiers were running in all-- and seemingly haphazard, jumping on vehicles that were taking off.

士兵们全都在奔跑——看起来很随意，跳上正在起飞的车辆。

At that time, it was-- there seemed to be nobody in charge, nobody in charge.

那个时候,好像是没有人负责,没有人负责。

I saw one higher officer absolutely lose his wits, and he seemed to be trying to crank a Jeep.

我看到一位高级军官完全失去了理智，他似乎在试图启动一辆吉普车。

Now, there hadn't been cranks on cars for a long time.

现在，汽车上已经很长时间没有曲柄了。

He was just absolutely panic-stricken, and that disturbed me a lot.

他完全惊慌失措，这让我很不安。

That shook me up.

这让我很震惊。

Roger Rutland, First Sergeant, 106th Infantry : It was not an orderly retreat.

罗杰·拉特兰 (Roger Rutland)，第 106 步兵团中士：这不是一次有序的撤退。

We were just doing what we thought was best at that particular time.

Primarily, we were backing up.

Clyde Burkholder, Private, 28th Infantry : Nothing was.

Norm Plumb, Private, 28th Infantry : No, because we were too spread out and too confused, to begin with.

第 28 步兵团列兵诺姆·普拉姆：不，因为我们一开始就太分散、太混乱了。

David McCullough : [voice-over] Norm Plump and Clyde Burkholder made up the better part of the trombone section of the 28th Division Dance Band.

大卫·麦卡洛 (David McCullough)：[画外音] 诺姆·普朗普 (Norm Plump) 和克莱德·伯克霍尔德 (Clyde Burkholder) 是第 28 分区舞蹈乐队长号部分的主要成员。

Clyde was a five-foot-one crooner with a voice reminiscent of Eddie Cantor, but with little talent for soldiering.

克莱德是一位身高五英尺一英寸的歌手，声音让人想起埃迪·坎托，但缺乏当兵的天赋。

He and Plump were part of the ad hoc assembly of rearguard troops now charged with engaging the Panzer troopen.

他和普朗普是后卫部队临时集结的成员，现在负责与装甲部队交战。

Norm Plumb, Private, 28th Infantry : And they divided us up, the band, with others -- a quartermaster, people from finance -- and a lot of them had weapons they didn't even know how to use properly.

第 28 步兵团二等兵 Norm Plumb：他们将我们、乐队和其他人（军需官、财务人员）分开，他们中的很多人甚至都不知道如何正确使用武器。

Clyde Burkholder, Private, 28th Infantry : Including the band.

克莱德·伯克霍尔德 (Clyde Burkholder)，第 28 步兵团列兵：包括乐队。

Norm Plumb, Private, 28th Infantry : Yeah, when they-- in fact, I think some of the band, I heard, had a bazooka, or somebody had one--

第 28 步兵团二等兵 Norm Plumb：是的，当他们——事实上，我听说乐队中的一些人拥有火箭筒，或者有人拥有火箭筒——

Clyde Burkholder, Private, 28th Infantry : You got to be kidding.

克莱德·伯克霍尔德（Clyde Burkholder），第 28 步兵团列兵：你开玩笑吧。

We were lucky we could load a carbine, let alone a machine gun and everybody--

我们很幸运，我们可以装载卡宾枪，更不用说机枪了，每个人——

Norm Plumb, Private, 28th Infantry : Well, that's all we had is carbines, you know.

第 28 步兵团列兵 Norm Plumb：好吧，我们只有卡宾枪，你知道。

Clyde Burkholder, Private, 28th Infantry : Yeah, but I was thinking that-- I brought the bullets there and everybody kept saying, ''What are they for?''

克莱德·伯克霍尔德 (Clyde Burkholder)，第 28 步兵团二等兵：是的，但我在想——我把子弹带到了那里，每个人都不停地说，“它们是做什么用的？”

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : Well, starting at noon, we went to hell in a hand basket.

奥利弗·巴顿 (Oliver Patton)，第 106 步兵团少尉：好吧，从中午开始，我们就在手提篮里下地狱了。

As soon as we got into the woods, we ran into Germans and as we pushed forward, we ran into more and more Germans until by the time we got to the road that we were supposed to cut and go across, we were just backed up.

我们一进入树林，就遇到了德国人，随着我们向前推进，我们遇到了越来越多的德国人，直到我们到达我们应该抄近路并穿越的道路时，我们才被支援。

It was a heavy firefight.

这是一场激烈的交火。

There was a lot of fire.

发生了很多火灾。

My platoon was just melting away.

我的排正在融化。

I went back and found the company first sergeant, who said, ''There's an order for us to pull out, come back.'' And in the dust, I saw a man and I yelled at him to -- I'm sure fairly obscenely -- to get his ''act'' out of there, that we were leaving, and he wasn't mine, he was a German and he shot me.

我回去找到了连长，他说：“我们接到命令，撤退，回来。”在灰尘中，我看到一个男人，我对他大喊——我确信那是相当下流的——让他的“行为”离开那里，我们要离开，他不是我的，他是一个德国人，他开枪打死了我。

And I was put in the aid station and I remember during the night the chaplain came to me and said, ''Ollie, we got to go, and we're going to leave those of you who cannot walk in the aid station under the care of a medic, a soldier who's volunteered to look after you.'' And it dawned on me then that things had gotten serious, that-- you don't abandon-- you don't leave your wounded, you get them out.

我被送进了救助站，我记得那天晚上，牧师来找我说：“奥利，我们得走了，我们要把那些不能在救助站行走的人交给一名医务人员照顾，一名自愿照顾你们的士兵。”然后我突然意识到事情已经变得严重了，你不要抛弃伤员，你不能留下伤员，你要把他们救出来。

And what he was telling me is, ''We can't get you out.''

他告诉我的是，“我们不能让你出去。”

Roger Rutland, First Sergeant, 106th Infantry : On the eve of the 18th or 19th, which would have been the third or fourth day, the senior colonel called back to division headquarters and said, ''We have no ammunition,'' 'cause they only had 48 rounds per man to begin with, and that was gone after the three days.

罗杰·拉特兰，第 106 步兵团中士：18 日或 19 日前夕，也就是第三天或第四天，大校打电话回师部说，“我们没有弹药了”，因为他们一开始每人只有 48 发子弹，三天后就没有了。

He called back to the division commander and said, ''We have no choice but to surrender.''

他给师长打电话说：“我们别无选择，只能投降。”

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : Encircled and under artillery and even tank fire and many Germans on either side, the remnants were surrendered.

奥利弗·巴顿 (Oliver Patton)，第 106 步兵团少尉：在被包围、大炮甚至坦克火力以及两侧都有许多德军的情况下，残部被投降了。

那天我们损失了该师三分之二的步兵兵力。

David McCullough : [voice-over] More than 4,000 of the 106th were given up.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音] 第 106 团中有 4,000 多人被放弃。

Only the American surrender at Bataan was larger.

本·金梅尔曼，第 28 步兵团上尉：我们投降后，德国下士抓住了我，然后他们把我放在汽车引擎盖上。

I was sitting with my legs dangling over the grill, and he had a pistol to my head.

我坐在烤架上，双腿悬在烤架上，他用手枪指着我的头。

And so we went up and down some hills, and I was like a trophy on the hood of this car with this pistol on my head.

于是我们就在山上上上下下，我就像这辆车引擎盖上的一个奖杯，头上戴着这把手枪。

And to my absolute astonishment, I was looking at droves and herds of beautifully uniformed young, healthy-looking well-fed, well-equipped German troops, and my heart sank.

令我大吃一惊的是，我看到成群结队的德国军队，他们穿着漂亮的制服，看上去很健康，吃得饱饱的，装备精良，我的心沉了下去。

God, they did it.

天哪，他们做到了。

I mean, they surprised us.

我的意思是，他们让我们感到惊讶。

They've got stores of people that we didn't know about.

他们有很多我们不认识的人。

Wow.

And they came by, these young, good-looking kids, laughing at me as the trophy.

他们过来了，这些年轻漂亮的孩子，嘲笑我是战利品。

We had been surprised and were in trouble.

Singer : This is the GI jive, man alive / It starts with the bugler blowing reveille over your bed when you arrive.

我记得住在一家酒店，一个叫克利希广场的地方，那里有一家不错的小酒店，那里有大量的干邑白兰地和这类东西，你知道。

So we would sit around and talk and the girls would come in.

And the particular girl that I had had little short legs about so long, and I think she weighed probably-- oh, I guess, in the neighborhood of 140 pounds and she did a pretty good job with you when-- you know, when you were in the action, let's say, when you were in action, in combat.

我遇到的那个女孩的腿又短又长，我想她的体重可能——哦，我猜，大约有 140 磅，当——你知道，当你在行动时，比方说，当你在行动、在战斗时，她对你表现得很好。

Let me put it that way.

让我这样说吧。

She was a country girl and she was come in from the farm.

I was having a party in my quarters in Morbelon , and it was a good party because we were only-- we were in the middle of the champagne country there.

我在莫尔贝隆的住处举办了一个聚会，这是一个很棒的聚会，因为我们只是——我们位于那里的香槟之乡的中部。

And I went over to the headquarters where General McAuliffe informed me that he had just had a call that there had been a breakthrough in the Ardennes.

我去了总部，麦考利夫将军告诉我，他刚刚接到电话说阿登地区取得了突破。

He knew little more than that about it, but that we were probably going to be moving out the following morning.

Surprise would be to put it very, very mildly.

令人惊讶的是，如果说得非常非常温和的话。

We were flabbergasted.

我们大吃一惊。

David McCullough : [voice-over] By the evening of the second day of battle, the Allied commanders understood the enormity of their situation.

他们会沿着街道走来，说：“所有空降兵”——这意味着每个空降兵，不仅是第 101 空降师，还有其他任何人——然后就是立即回到你的服装，不问任何问题。

And if you didn't within so many hours, they'd pick you up and escort you back.

如果你在几个小时内没有这样做，他们就会来接你并护送你回来。

And they told us that-- ''Get everything ready to go.''

他们告诉我们——“准备好一切，出发。”

And we didn't know whether we were going to jump or what was going to go on.

我们不知道我们是否要跳下去，也不知道会发生什么。

It was sort of a hang situation, so we just-- when we got back to camp, then we found out.

这是一种悬而未决的情况，所以当我们回到营地时，我们就发现了。

And of course, we didn't really know until we got in the trucks and they said, ''You're headed for Bastogne.'' ''Well, where's Bastogne?'' you know.

当然，我们并不真正知道，直到我们上了卡车，他们说，“你要去巴斯托涅。”“那么，巴斯托涅在哪里？”你知道。

We weren't even sure where it was.

David McCullough : [voice-over] The main fight now was for 22-foot strips of pavement -- the major roads -- most of which ran through two towns, St. Vith in the north and Bastogne in the south.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音] 现在的主要争夺是争夺 22 英尺长的人行道——主要道路——其中大部分穿过两个城镇，北部的圣维特和南部的巴斯托涅。

A quarter of a million Germans, plus tanks, Jeeps, horses and trucks squeezed through the Ardennes.

鲍勃·邓宁（Bob Dunning），第 101 空降师，二等兵：好吧，我们被告知要撤离并进入巴斯托涅，我的意思是，我们分散在路的两边，形成战斗队形。

You could hear the guns going off.

第 101 空降师金纳德上校：巴斯托涅第 18 军总部的场景是半组织混乱的场景之一。

The Germans were at the gates, almost literally, and the Corps headquarters was bugging out, were moving to another location because they didn't want to be overrun.

德国人已经到了大门口，几乎是字面上的意思，军团总部正在撤离，正在搬到另一个地方，因为他们不想被占领。

Bob Dunning, Private, 101st Airborne : And I saw people coming back.

They had a look of, ''Well, I've been beaten, but I don't want to be,'' and a confused, glassy-eyed look.

他们的表情是：“好吧，我被打败了，但我不想被打败”，还有一种困惑、目光呆滞的表情。

I mean, they were sort of dazed, like.

我的意思是，他们有点茫然。

And you would ask them a question -- ''What's happening?'' -- and they really couldn't tell us.

It happened so fast and some of them were just plain scared.

I mean, they were just-- they'd had it.

I mean, they were just-- they didn't know what to do.

I remember one young guy kind of jogging along and slogging along, and he-- no weapons or anything and he was actually crying.

David McCullough : [voice-over] The 101st dug itself into the fields and forests around Bastogne.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]第 101 中队深入巴斯托涅周围的田野和森林。

Its job was to hold the town.

它的任务是守住城镇。

To the far north, SS tankers had broken through and they were searching frantically for gas reserves.

在遥远的北方，党卫军油轮已经突破，他们正在疯狂地寻找天然气储备。

Americans kept a fragile grip on St. Vith, but in the soft middle, the Germans had split the line wide open.

On the 21st, the first day of snow, Bastogne was surrounded.

Heavy clouds grounded the American bombers.

厚厚的云层使美国轰炸机停飞。

C-47's loaded with supplies sat on runways, unable to reach the town.

满载物资的 C-47 停在跑道上，无法抵达城镇。

Bob Dunning, Private, 101st Airborne : We weren't what you call well prepared to go into a winter situation.

I mean, we had a supply of normal combat fatigue-type things, but that's about all we had.

我的意思是，我们有一些正常的战斗疲劳型物品的供应，但这就是我们所拥有的全部。

Gloves and things like that we didn't have.

手套之类的东西我们没有。

Footwear was mainly what we needed.

我们主要需要的是鞋类。

We had combat boots that had the buckles on the side.

我们的战斗靴侧面有带扣。

We had those and we needed something to cover them because they were-- we had worn those through Normandy and Holland, a lot of them, and they were worn pretty thin, see?

我们有这些，我们需要一些东西来遮盖它们，因为它们——我们穿过诺曼底和荷兰，很多，而且它们穿得很薄，看到了吗？

Some of us had even cut holes in them for air where we'd impregnated those things with that gook we used to put on them to waterproof them, see?

And your feet would sweat in those things, so we'd cut holes in those.

Well, that was a stupid thing to do going into Bastogne because the snow would get in there and like that.

嗯，进入巴斯托涅是一件愚蠢的事情，因为雪会进入那里，就像那样。

We had limited ammunition and that was one of the things, too, that we lacked, was ammunition.

我们的弹药有限，而弹药也是我们所缺乏的东西之一。

We just didn't have time to get supplied full ammo.

Patton had a sense of history and the will to make himself a place in it.

巴顿有历史感，也有让自己在其中占有一席之地的意愿。

He was already preparing his main chance -- an attack that could propel him into Berlin.

When he got wind of the German breakthrough, he feared Ike and Bradley were going to steal away his troops to plug holes in the Ardennes, but it didn't take him long to recognize an opportunity for glory.

当他听到德军突破的风声时，他担心艾克和布拉德利会偷走他的部队去堵住阿登地区的漏洞，但没过多久他就意识到这是一个获得荣耀的机会。

He told Ike he could pivot most of his attack force within 48 hours and sent word to Bastogne his army was on its way.

他告诉艾克，他可以在 48 小时内调动大部分攻击力量，并向巴斯托涅传达他的军队正在赶来的消息。

H.W.O.

Kinnard, Colonel, 101st Airborne : On the 22nd of December when we were totally surrounded, some German officers, under a white flag of truce, came into our glider regiment with a paper demanding our surrender and telling us all the bad things that would happen if we didn't.

金纳德，第 101 空降师上校：12 月 22 日，当我们被完全包围时，一些德国军官打着停战白旗，拿着一张要求我们投降的文件进入我们的滑翔机团，并告诉我们如果我们不投降将会发生的所有糟糕的事情。

Then we went into General McAuliffe, who was taking a little much-needed nap at that point, and General McAuliffe mistakenly thought that this was some Germans who wanted to surrender to us, but we disabused him of that thought very quickly and said, ''No, they want us to surrender.'' And Tony McAuliffe then said, ''Us surrender?

然后我们去找麦考利夫将军，他当时正在小憩，麦考利夫将军错误地认为这是一些德国人想要向我们投降，但我们很快就打消了他的想法，并说：“不，他们希望我们投降。”然后托尼·麦考利夫说：“我们投降？”

Aw, nuts.''

噢，疯了。”

And then he went on and he said, ''Well, I wonder if we ought to answer them,'' and we all felt that it required an answer.

然后他继续说，“好吧，我想知道我们是否应该回答他们，”我们都觉得需要一个答案。

And I spoke up and said, ''Well, what you first said would be hard to beat,'' and Tony said, ''What do you mean?'' And I said, ''You said, ''Nuts,'' so he took a pencil and wrote to the German commander, ''Nuts,'' exclamation point, ''A.C.

我开口说道，“好吧，你首先说的内容很难被击败，”托尼说，“你是什么意思？”我说，“你说，‘胡言乱语’，”于是他拿起一支铅笔给德国指挥官写了“胡言乱语”，感叹号，“A.C.”。

McAuliffe, Commander.''

麦考利夫，指挥官。”

When the surrender ultimatum was learned of, it was apparently a good morale-booster for the American public.

当投降最后通牒得知后，这显然对美国公众来说是一个很好的士气鼓舞。

The American press every day was showing a picture of the Bulge with only Bastogne in the white and all the rest of it was German and we were still holding out and that was about the only good news there was.

美国媒体每天都在展示突出部的照片，其中只有巴斯托尼穿着白色，其余都是德国人，我们仍在坚持，这大概是唯一的好消息。

Guy Franz Arend, "Nuts" Museum, Bastogne : [through interpreter] The town of Bastogne had no military importance.

The proof of it was in the plan of attack.

攻击计划就是证据。

There wasn't even a plan to take the town itself.

The Germans got taken into the game.

德国人被卷入了这场比赛。

Once they saw Bastogne was becoming for America a symbol of resistance, then the Germans set out to destroy that symbol.

一旦他们看到巴斯托尼正在成为美国抵抗的象征，德国人就开始摧毁这个象征。

He radioed ahead.

他通过无线电向前方通报。

He would crack through on Christmas Day.

David McCullough : [voice-over] From his command post in Luxembourg City, Patton ordered his men to attack night and day.

Roger Rutland, First Sergeant, 106th Infantry : The weather cleared and the planes could start flying again.

Planes were coming over by the hundreds.

数百架飞机飞过。

You'd see 36 in a group, 36 more, 36 more, and I don't know how many hundreds.

And we'd just look up in the sky and say, ''Thank goodness they're flying again.''

Bob Dunning, Private, 101st Airborne : And to see those guys diving down and strafing, we knew they were hitting tanks and that's what was keeping the Krauts moving and keeping them busy and this happened from daylight to dark.

鲍勃·邓宁 (Bob Dunning)，第 101 空降师二等兵：看到那些家伙俯冲下来进行扫射，我们知道他们正在击中坦克，这就是让德国佬保持移动并让他们忙碌的原因，这种情况从白天一直持续到天黑。

David McCullough : [voice-over] Hitler had gambled everything in the Ardennes -- his best troops, his new reserves, hundreds of new tanks and his meager supply of fuel -- but he'd always known that wasn't enough.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]希特勒在阿登赌上了一切——他最好的部队、他的新预备队、数百辆新坦克和他微薄的燃料供应——但他一直知道这还不够。

He'd also counted on bad weather and after seven days, his luck had run out.

他还指望着恶劣的天气，七天后，他的运气就耗尽了。

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : The German offensive stalled out.

The Allies held the northern shoulder.

盟军占据了北肩。

In the south, the southern shoulder was held.

南边则守住南肩。

The Germans were constricted to that 80-mile base and driving toward Antwerp, they got no farther than just within sight of the Meuse River.

德军被限制在这个 80 英里的基地内，向安特卫普进发，他们只到达了默兹河的视线范围内。

Matter of fact was it died right there.

事实上，它就死在那里。

That was the end of it.

事情就这样结束了。

David McCullough : [voice-over] Patton's army got to Bastogne the day after Christmas and they opened up enough of a hole for the press to squeeze through along with the morale troops and the medal-pinners.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]巴顿的军队在圣诞节后的第二天到达巴斯托涅，他们为媒体、士气高昂的军队和奖牌佩戴者打开了足够的漏洞。

McAuliffe and the 101st were the pride of the American Army, but the price of an earlier pride was also on display.

麦考利夫和第 101 团是美国陆军的骄傲，但早期骄傲的代价也已显现。

An army which had held itself unstoppable had suffered 4,000 dead in the Bulge by Christmas.

圣诞节前，一支势不可挡的军队在突出部已有 4,000 人死亡。

Thirty thousand more Americans had been wounded or taken prisoner.

另有三万名美国人受伤或被俘。

The SS had executed hundreds of unarmed American prisoners and, in the town of Stavelot, more than a hundred Belgian civilians.

党卫军处决了数百名手无寸铁的美国囚犯，并在斯塔沃洛镇处决了一百多名比利时平民。

The Americans had given up a pocket of land 50 miles deep.

美国人放弃了一块50英里深的土地。

It would take them a whole month to win it back.

他们需要整整一个月的时间才能赢回来。

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : Your imagination kinds of runs away with you, I guess, especially when you hear noises and, of course, at night it was worse because you really didn't know what was happening.

巴特·哈格曼（Bart Hagerman），第 17 空降师二等兵：我想，你的想象力有点离你而去，尤其是当你听到噪音时，当然，在晚上情况更糟，因为你真的不知道发生了什么。

Ed Stewart, Sergeant, 84th Infantry : We were very much afraid of the dark.

Ed Stewart，第 84 步兵团中士：我们非常害怕黑暗。

You couldn't see the danger.

你看不到危险。

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : And so, as the light begins to come, it's beautiful.

奥利弗·巴顿 (Oliver Patton)，第 106 步兵团少尉：所以，当曙光开始出现时，它是美丽的。

It provides you at least a view of what's going to happen, and you know what's going to happen in terms of the battle.

它至少为你提供了将要发生的事情的一个视图，并且你知道战斗中将会发生什么。

Newsreel Announcer: To meet the German drive, General Eisenhower here at Supreme Headquarters, resourcefully regroups his forces, giving Field Marshal Montgomery complete command over the entire northern sector.

新闻片播音员：为了迎接德军的进攻，艾森豪威尔将军在最高司令部巧妙地重新集结了他的部队，让蒙哥马利元帅完全指挥了整个北部地区。

With Britain's famous Monty cleverly holding Rundstedt back in the north, his American counterpart, General Bradley, blocks the Nazis in the south.

英国著名的蒙蒂巧妙地在北方阻止了伦德施泰特，而他的美国同行布拉德利将军则在南方阻挡了纳粹。

David McCullough : [voice-over] The first order of business once the Germans had been stopped was closing the hole in the American line where the First and Third Armies were wedged apart.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]一旦德国人被阻止，首要任务就是堵住美国防线中第一集团军和第三集团军分开的缺口。

Eisenhower's plan was to join the two armies quickly and then push east.

艾森豪威尔的计划是两军迅速会合，然后向东推进。

Patton wanted to make a bolder move, but Eisenhower held him back.

巴顿想要采取更大胆的行动，但艾森豪威尔阻止了他。

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : Patton wanted desperately to drive right back up the original line and be met by a counterattack from the north and thus bag all of the Germans who'd gotten themselves forward in the Bulge, so-called Bulge.

奥利弗·巴顿 (Oliver Patton)，第 106 步兵团少尉：巴顿急切地想沿着原来的战线返回，遭遇来自北方的反击，从而包围所有在突出部（即所谓的突出部）前进的德军。

He wanted to cut them off and bag this lot.

他想把它们砍掉，然后把这批东西装进袋子里。

I still don't understand exactly why the decision was made, but rather than trying to cut these people off in a bag, the decision was made to push them out.

我仍然不明白为什么要做出这个决定，但我并没有试图把这些人关在袋子里，而是决定把他们赶出去。

So, in effect, reserves were committed from the south, from the north and from here and the American Army simply stood up and slugged its way back toward the start line -- slow, dogged, costly advance.

因此，实际上，预备队是从南方、北方和这里投入的，而美国陆军只是站起来，奋力返回起跑线——缓慢、顽强、代价高昂的前进。

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : Both the weather and the enemy could kill you.

巴特·哈格曼，第 17 空降师二等兵：天气和敌人都可能杀死你。

If you were hit, you could go into shock and in that temperature you could freeze to death before they could get to you.

Jim Foster, Sergeant, 17th Airborne : The first time I dug in-- and I was digging me a foxhole and I throwed my first shovel full of snow over and I hit something and I cleared the snow and there lay a dead American soldier, froze, see?

吉姆·福斯特，第 17 空降师中士：我第一次挖坑时，我正在挖一个散兵坑，我把第一把装满雪的铲子扔了过去，我撞到了某个东西，我清理了雪，那里躺着一个死去的美国士兵，僵住了，看到了吗？

I mean, you say, ''That could have been me.

我的意思是，你说，“那可能是我。”

I'm here now, we're here.

我现在在这里，我们在这里。

This is the real thing.''

这才是真实的事情。”

David McCullough : [voice-over] The Americans attacked into the worst European winter in memory, but Eisenhower maintained his good cheer.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]美国人进入了记忆中欧洲最糟糕的冬天，但艾森豪威尔仍然保持着良好的精神状态。

He was a man who lived by numbers and he knew those were on his side.

他是一个靠人数生存的人，他知道那些人都站在他一边。

In the European theater, the Allies held a 10-to-one advantage in tanks, three-to-one in aircraft, two-and-a-half to one in troops.

在欧洲战区，盟军在坦克方面占有十比一的优势，在飞机方面占有三比一的优势，在部队方面则占有二比半的优势。

Ike poured half a million men into the Ardennes.

艾克向阿登地区投入了五十万人。

The Battle of the Bulge would become the biggest, costliest battle in U.S. history, for many young Americans, their introduction to the raw experience of war.

对于许多美国年轻人来说，突出部之战将成为美国历史上规模最大、代价最高的一场战斗，让他们第一次接触到战争的经历。

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : Our first attack-- major offensive was on January 7th.

巴特·哈格曼 (Bart Hagerman)，第 17 空降师二等兵：我们的第一次进攻——主要进攻是在 1 月 7 日。

We moved up under artillery fire to an attack position, and we were hit from behind.

我们在炮火下移动到攻击位置，我们从后面被击中。

And actually, it was one of our own companies in our battalion had gotten a little bit off-line and in the confusion that was going on at that time, they mistook us for the Germans and start firing at us from the rear.

事实上，我们营的一个连有点离线，在当时的混乱中，他们把我们误认为是德国人，并开始从后方向我们开火。

After that was straightened out, then we began our attack on the woods, and then we came to a large open field.

理清之后，我们就开始向树林进攻，然后来到了一大片空地。

On the other side of the field was a large tank giving devastating fire into our ranks and I think the Army terms it ''strategic withdrawal,'' but it really-- we really just beat it out of there.

在战场的另一边，有一辆大型坦克向我们的队伍发出毁灭性的火力，我认为陆军将其称为“战略撤退”，但实际上——我们真的只是从那里击败了它。

And I was seeing people ahead of me falling and being hit, so I went down on my face and I looked at-- right in front of me, there was a friend of mine that had-- I could see he had been killed.

我看到前面的人摔倒并被击中，所以我脸朝下，我看着——就在我面前，我的一个朋友——我可以看到他被杀了。

We probably had in the neighborhood of 200 people in the company and at the end of that day I understand about 64 were present.

It was a real turning point in our life 'cause I don't think any of us have ever been the same after that day.

这是我们生活中真正的转折点，因为我认为那天之后我们中的任何人都不再一样了。

Bob Conroy, Private, 75th Infantry : About midnight I was sleeping -- my buddy was on duty -- and somehow or other, the Germans got within 20 yards of our position.

鲍勃·康罗伊 (Bob Conroy)，第 75 步兵团列兵：大约午夜时分，我正在睡觉——我的伙伴正在值班——不知怎的，德国人已经距离我们的阵地不到 20 码了。

Gordon got ripped by a machine gun from roughly the left thigh through the right waist.

戈登被机关枪从左大腿到右腰部撕裂。

He then found-- told me that he was hit through the stomach as well.

然后他发现——告诉我他的胃也被击中了。

Well, when you're that far from your home base and it's snowing and the temperature's zero, you don't have a chance.

We were cut off.

我们被切断了。

The Germans had overrun our position and we were in the foxhole by ourselves, so basically we both knew he was going to die.

德国人已经占领了我们的阵地，我们自己就在散兵坑里，所以基本上我们都知道他会死。

We had no morphine, we couldn't ease it, and so I tried to knock him out.

我们没有吗啡，无法缓解，所以我试图把他打昏。

The-- I took off his helmet, held his jaw up and just whacked it as hard as I could, because he wanted to be put out.

That didn't work and so I hit up by the head with a helmet and that didn't work.

Nothing worked.

什么都没起作用。

He slowly froze to death, bled to death.

他慢慢地被冻死，失血过多而死。

The next morning, as we looked at our gear, it looked as if I'd have spent a day in a butcher shop.

第二天早上，当我们查看我们的装备时，看起来我好像在肉店度过了一天。

My clothes were all covered with blood.

我的衣服都沾满了血。

His clothes were all covered with blood and the territory we were in was all covered-- he just-- it was a butcher shop.

H.W.O.

Kinnard, Colonel, 101st Airborne : The really hardest part of the fighting for the 101st was not during the time that we were on the defensive, even though we were surrounded.

金纳德，第 101 空降师上校：第 101 空降师战斗中真正最困难的部分并不是在我们处于防御状态的时候，尽管我们被包围了。

The most difficult fighting that we really had was when we were asked to go on the offensive.

By this time, the Germans were on the defense and they were trying their best to keep an opening so they could get their people out of the Bulge and back to Germany.

此时，德国人已处于防守状态，他们正在尽最大努力保持空当，以便将他们的人民从突出部带回德国。

David McCullough : [voice-over] The German generals knew their army was overextended and badly exposed.

They wanted to pull their men quickly across the Rhine to the safety of the homeland.

他们想把自己的人迅速拉过莱茵河，回到安全的祖国。

Hitler refused.

希特勒拒绝了。

On January 8th, he reluctantly allowed his men to inch back, but there would be no easy retreat.

They were to fight as they went.

他们要边走边战斗。

The German army had fought through Russian winters.

Its commanders understood winter warfare.

它的指挥官了解冬季战争。

They set up defensive positions on the high ground and in the warmth of the towns.

The Americans lived out in the woods.

美国人住在树林里。

Jim Foster, Sergeant, 17th Airborne : Most of the time we were in a foxhole by ourself.

Occasionally we'd be with some-- and we were in foxholes probably scattered out anywhere from 30 to 50 yards apart.

You had very little contact with anybody.

你与任何人的接触都很少。

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : Well, the ground was frozen, in the first place, to such a depth that you could hardly get down the first eight inches or so.

巴特·哈格曼（Bart Hagerman），第 17 空降兵团二等兵：嗯，首先，地面结冰的深度如此之深，以至于你几乎无法下到前八英寸左右。

It was just frozen like concrete, and you just had to chip it away.

Consequently, we found ourself using old foxholes, ones that had been-- or slit trenches that had been dug either by the enemy or by ourself.

因此，我们发现自己使用的是旧散兵坑，或者是敌人或我们自己挖的战壕。

Of course, if you were occupying enemy holes, they knew where they were, so there was a certain amount of risk either way you went.

Once you got in, if you were there any period of time -- and we usually weren't -- you start trying to improve it by putting logs over the top of it to shield you from tree bursts of artillery.

一旦你进去了，如果你在那里呆过一段时间——而我们通常不会——你就开始尝试改进它，在上面放上木头，以保护你免受树木炮火的袭击。

Jim Foster, Sergeant, 17th Airborne : They just shelled us continuously.

If you got out of your hole, you was liable to get blowed away.

Ed Stewart, Sergeant, 84th Infantry : There's a screaming sound to the 88's which was a major artillery on the part of the Germans, and at first it was absolutely frightening, a nightmare.

Ed Stewart，第 84 步兵团中士：德国人的 88 式大炮发出尖叫声，一开始这绝对是令人恐惧的，一场噩梦。

I eventually get accustomed to it and begin to make judgments about it.

Is it coming in close, is it going to go far or what?

And you begin to be able to estimate pretty much where it's going to hit.

你开始能够大致估计它会击中的地方。

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : You can't fight back.

Most people just kind of double up like that and hunker down, as they say, and hope that somebody else, not you, gets it.

David McCullough : [voice-over] The Americans were now on the attack.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]美国人现在正在进攻。

Each day, the men had to come out of their holes and advance into artillery fire.

每天，士兵们都必须从洞里出来，冲进炮火之中。

The Germans had superior guns and still plenty of them.

Artillery accounted for half of all American casualties in the Bulge.

炮兵占突出部美军伤亡人数的一半。

Ed Stewart, Sergeant, 84th Infantry : You had people killed in many different ways.

Ed Stewart，第 84 步兵团中士：人们以多种不同的方式被杀害。

And you would see hands around, arms, bodies.

你会看到周围的双手、手臂、身体。

You'd see a whole body there, horribly chopped up.

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : People didn't crumple and fall like they did in the Hollywood movies.

They were tossed in the air.

They were whipped around.

他们被鞭打着。

They was hit to the ground hard and their blood splattered everywhere.

And a lot of people were standing close to people and found themself covered in blood and flesh of their friends, and that's a pretty tough thing for anybody to handle, and we were no exception to that.

很多人站在人们身边，发现自己沾满了朋友的血肉，这对任何人来说都是一件很难处理的事情，我们也不例外。

Chet Hansen, Major, Aide to General Omar Bradley : We had a staff meeting every morning on the operational situation, the intelligence situation and always a manpower report on the casualties from the day before.

切特·汉森少校，奥马尔·布拉德利将军的助手：我们每天早上都会召开一次参谋会议，讨论作战情况、情报情况以及前一天伤亡情况的人力报告。

David McCullough : [voice-over] As the GI's crept forward in the Ardennes, their generals sifted reports from the front.

They were grim.

Patton's army, known for its speed, was covering less than a mile a day.

The attack from the north was even slower.

来自北方的攻击更加缓慢。

Ike remained 200 miles back at Versailles.

艾克仍留在 200 英里外的凡尔赛宫。

The front was not his only worry.

前线并不是他唯一担心的事情。

He was trying to keep the peace within his command.

他试图在他的指挥下维持和平。

Chet Hansen, Major, Aide to General Omar Bradley : There were severe strains during the Battle of the Bulge.

奥马尔·布拉德利将军的助手切特·汉森少校：突出部战役期间承受着严重的压力。

Montgomery was perceived in the American Army as a rather arrogant, stubborn little fellow.

蒙哥马利在美国陆军中被认为是一个相当傲慢、固执的小家伙。

I think General Bradley and others feared that if Monty ever got his hands on our armies, he'd never let go.

David McCullough : [voice-over] For months, Monty had been badgering Eisenhower for control of the ground war.

After the German breakthrough, Ike had reluctantly given him command of Bradley's troops in the north, but Monty wanted more.

德军突破后，艾克不情愿地将北方布拉德利部队的指挥权交给了他，但蒙蒂想要更多。

He demanded permanent control of all American ground troops.

他要求永久控制所有美国地面部队。

Ike was sick of the field marshal and threatened to have him fired.

On the 9th of January, an angry Bradley made the dispute public.

Hitler was delighted.

This was just the fight he'd hoped for.

It took a stirring speech by Winston Churchill to get the Allied generals back in line.

Chet Hansen, Major, Aide to General Omar Bradley : The war went along and every day was like the day before.

奥马尔·布拉德利将军的助手切特·汉森少校：战争继续进行，每一天都和前一天一样。

It was a seven-day-a-week job.

这是一份每周工作 7 天的工作。

It went on forever.

它永远持续下去。

For relaxation, General Bradley did algebra problems, and he worked at integral calculus when he was flying an airplane-- or flying in his airplane.

为了放松，布拉德利将军做代数题，当他驾驶飞机或在他的飞机上飞行时，他研究积分。

He said it relaxed him, made him think.

他说这让他放松，让他思考。

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : We were always thinking about food.

We were always thinking about the cold and how to get warm or how to get dry.

我们总是在考虑寒冷以及如何取暖或如何保持干燥。

And we were always thinking about sleep.

我们一直在思考睡眠。

You were lucky if you got two or three hours' sleep and if the sun ever did come out -- and it did finally during the latter part -- it almost put you to sleep just immediately.

如果你睡了两三个小时，那么你就很幸运了，如果太阳真的出来了——最后在后半段太阳出来了——它几乎让你立刻就睡着了。

Bob Conroy, Private, 75th Infantry : You got extremely tired.

When you're marching, carrying a pack, and you're going 10, 20 miles up toward the front, you're numb, you're tired, and you can go to sleep walking.

当你背着背包行军，向前线前进 10、20 英里时，你会感到麻木、疲倦，甚至会梦游。

It's been.

它已经。

It's been done a lot, except if the road takes a turn, you're going to end in the ditch.

人们已经做过很多这样的事了，除非道路转弯，你最终会掉进沟里。

Ed Stewart, Sergeant, 84th Infantry : It's very difficult to sleep if you're shivering with cold.

Ed Stewart，第 84 步兵团中士：如果你冻得发抖，就很难入睡。

One of the things that you do, you lie down on your side and bring your knees up.

你要做的一件事就是侧躺并抬起膝盖。

And you'd be paired with another guy who is facing you so your knees would go into his stomach and your head around his head.

你会和另一个面对你的人配对，这样你的膝盖就会进入他的肚子，你的头会抱住他的头。

You have two people in the womb position taking advantage of that position to preserve body heat and life.

有两个人处于子宫位置，利用该位置来保存体温和生命。

Another way of doing it -- to keep you off the snow -- is you take three persons, three men, and you put your arms around each other's shoulders so that you got three bodies, if you will, propping each other up.

另一种方法——让你远离雪——是你带三个人，三个男人，然后你们用手臂搂住彼此的肩膀，这样你们就得到了三个身体，如果你愿意的话，互相支撑。

And then you lower your head and you go to sleep standing up.

You never really went off into a deep sleep -- sort of half-awake, half-asleep.

你从来没有真正进入深度睡眠——有点半醒半睡的状态。

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : I would go to sleep at night and my feet would get cold and I would wake up and they were numb and I'd start kicking them together and get circulation started again, and I was good maybe for another hour or so.

巴特·哈格曼（Bart Hagerman），第 17 空降师二等兵：晚上睡觉时，我的脚会变冷，醒来时脚会麻木，我会开始踢脚，让血液循环重新开始，也许还能再坚持一个小时左右。

Roger Rutland, First Sergeant, 106th Infantry : I had frozen toes.

My big toes were as big as a-- much bigger than a golf ball, and I had many men that I had to send back and that had feet amputated at the ankles.

我的大脚趾有大脚趾那么大——比高尔夫球大得多，我不得不送回很多人，他们的脚踝处都被截肢了。

Some of them would just lose their toes.

David McCullough : [voice-over] Halfway through the Battle of the Bulge, the Army was still waiting for its main shipment of winter boots.

Men suffering from frozen feet were given whiskey or distilled alcohol to drink, which only made things worse.

Some 15,000 soldiers were taken off the line with frostbite.

Jim Foster, Sergeant, 17th Airborne : We went out at dark as close to the German lines as we could get, and I was to report back to Lieutenant Clausen and just report what we've seen or heard that night.

吉姆·福斯特，第 17 空降师中士：我们在天黑时出发，尽可能靠近德军防线，我要向克劳森中尉报告，报告我们那天晚上所看到或听到的情况。

So I went back to the house and told Lieutenant Clausen we didn't hear or see anything.

He called-- my name was ''Porkchops'' in the Army, and he said, ''Porkchops, you go ahead and lay down here and go to sleep and I'll wake you when I need you.'' So this was like seven o'clock in the morning, and I didn't wake up till about 12 o'clock that night.

他打电话给我——我在军队的名字叫“猪排”，他说：“猪排，你先躺在这里睡觉，需要你的时候我会叫醒你。”所以这就像早上七点，那天晚上我直到十二点左右才醒来。

And when I woke up, I almost instantly noticed there was something wrong with my feet, and they had swollen up about a third bigger than they were, you know, and hurt then.

当我醒来时，我几乎立即注意到我的脚出了问题，它们肿得比原来大了三分之一，你知道，然后很痛。

And within three days, I was back in England in the hospital.

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : I saw people there being evacuated with frozen feet, and their feet were just as black as coal, kind of-- maybe a gun-steel blue if you want to put it that way.

巴特·哈格曼（Bart Hagerman），第 17 空降师二等兵：我看到那里的人们被疏散，他们的脚都冻僵了，他们的脚就像煤炭一样黑，有点——如果你想这么说的话，也许是枪钢蓝色。

And in the first stages, they swell quite a bit, but then after that, when they start turning blue and everything, they get almost flat.

It kind of turns your stomach, I guess.

It was a bad sight.

Jim Foster, Sergeant, 17th Airborne : If you didn't get circulation back in X number of days -- I can't remember, four or five days -- then there was a good possibility that gangrene was setting in or had set in.

吉姆·福斯特（Jim Foster），第 17 空降师中士：如果你在 X 天之后——我记不清了，四五天——没有恢复血液循环，那么坏疽很可能正在形成或已经形成。

And if you went another three or four days and you didn't start getting feeling, they amputated feet.

如果你再去三四天，仍然没有感觉，他们就会截掉你的脚。

And I do know there was one boy just about three bunks from me, he'd been there a few days before, and when they informed him that he was going to have to have his left foot removed, I remember that boy like to went crazy.

我确实知道有一个男孩离我大约三个铺位，他几天前去过那里，当他们告诉他他的左脚必须被切除时，我记得那个男孩喜欢发疯。

Chet Hansen, Major, Aide to General Omar Bradley : People do get hurt, people get wounded, people die in war and there always had to be a stream of replacements coming in, particularly for the rifle companies.

切特·汉森少校，奥马尔·布拉德利将军的助手：人们确实会受伤，人们会受伤，人们会在战争中死亡，总是需要有大量的替代者加入，特别是对于步枪连来说。

Dreadful situation -- and we were not getting the replacements that we needed.

David McCullough : [voice-over] Infantrymen made up only 10 percent of the total American Army, but they took 70 percent of the casualties.

Eisenhower was anxiously combing out the rear echelons, looking for men.

He didn't need more fancy hardware.

In this weather, a lot of it didn't even work.

The high command understood.

There was only one way to take ground.

Chet Hansen, Major, Aide to General Omar Bradley : The key to the fighting ability of a force is the guy who picks up a rifle, the infantrymen, and there aren't that many infantrymen in a division.

切特·汉森少校，奥马尔·布拉德利将军的助手：一支部队的战斗能力的关键是拿起步枪的人，即步兵，而一个师里的步兵并不多。

There are only about 3,200 infantrymen who pick up their rifles and go forward.

Bob Dunning, Private, 101st Airborne : From Normandy to Bastogne, I would guess probably our rate of casualties and this type of thing-- I have heard the figures of anywhere from 250 to 300 percent.

鲍勃·邓宁 (Bob Dunning)，第 101 空降师二等兵：从诺曼底到巴斯托涅，我猜想可能是我们的伤亡率之类的——我听说过从 250% 到 300% 的数字。

And that seems a little fantastic because we had a terrific amount of turnover and this type of thing.

You'd be there one day and you'd have all new guys the next day.

David McCullough : [voice-over] The arithmetic was simple.

The Army had been losing 2,000 men a day for almost a month.

New men had to be found to take their place.

Physical standards were lowered, training cut short.

Many of the recruits were just out of high school.

They were ill-prepared and little encouraged.

As one assigning officer was fond of telling them, ''Most of you aren't coming back.

Just as well get used to it now.''

Chet Hansen, Major, Aide to General Omar Bradley : They were suddenly loaded into trucks by the numbers and sent off to a division somewhere.

And particularly in the Battle of the Bulge, we had men who were sent in as replacements joining a unit, sergeants never even got to know their names before they were wounded or killed the next day.

特别是在突出部战役中，我们派了一些人作为替补加入一个部队，中士们在第二天受伤或阵亡之前甚至不知道他们的名字。

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : We really didn't get to know them.

We just kind of tolerated them, so to speak, and as I look back on it now, I realize that we probably treated them pretty shabbily and I feel sorry for them.

可以这么说，我们只是容忍了他们，现在回想起来，我意识到我们对待他们的态度可能相当恶劣，我为他们感到难过。

A lot of them were killed and we never even knew who they were.

Somebody said, ''We got a couple of casualties.

Who were they?'' And they said, ''Oh, a couple of new guys.

I don't know what their names are.'' So somebody had to check the dog tags to find out who they were.

我不知道他们叫什么名字。”所以有人必须检查狗牌才能找出他们是谁。

Roger Rutland, First Sergeant, 106th Infantry : On January 13th, we were almost to this little town of Coulis and the artillery started coming in.

罗杰·拉特兰 (Roger Rutland)，第 106 步兵团中士：1 月 13 日，我们快到库利斯这个小镇时，炮兵开始开火。

I had at least 15 of my new men that I had-- I knew the names on paper, but I hadn't put the name and the face together yet, 'cause I'd only had them a week or 10 days.

我至少有 15 个新男人——我知道纸上的名字，但我还没有把名字和面孔放在一起，因为我只认识了他们一周或十天。

And about 15 of those men were killed just like that in a period of 10 minutes or less.

在不到 10 分钟或更短的时间里，大约有 15 名男子就这样被杀。

David McCullough : [voice-over] The Americans were taking back the Ardennes one small town at a time.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]美国人正在一次夺回阿登的一个小镇。

First, gunners blanketed the towns with artillery.

首先，炮手用大炮覆盖了城镇。

Then the ground soldiers came out of the woods on foot and in tanks, shooting as they went.

When GI's fought their way into a town, the civilians were never in sight.

Josef Scheer : [through interpreter] We lived our lives in the cellars.

You tried to live there with the means you had, with what you could get to eat.

你试图用你现有的手段和你能吃的东西住在那里。

I remember that the water mains had been destroyed.

There was no water.

So I remember my father went out -- it was winter, everything was frozen -- and he brought back the snow and people melted it to drink it.

And this water was black, black from gunpowder, from all the shells exploding in the area.

这些水是黑色的，是火药的黑色，是该地区爆炸的所有炮弹的黑色。

David McCullough : [voice-over] While civilians prayed in their basements, their towns were falling around their ears.

The Belgian town of Houffalize was particularly unlucky.

Eisenhower had picked it as the place where the divided armies would join.

艾森豪威尔选择这里作为分裂军队的会师地点。

U.S. forces pulverized Houffalize, trying to get the Germans out.

美军摧毁了胡法利兹，试图将德国人赶出去。

On January 13th, Patton began his final assault.

His men were ''chasing a sinking fox,'' he insisted, and ''babbling for the kill.''

他坚称，他的手下正在“追逐一只正在下沉的狐狸”，并且“喋喋不休地想要猎杀。”

Oliver Patton, Second Lieutenant, 106th Infantry : The German Bulge -- driven into the Allied lines, the American lines -- had a start line and we were pushing them back toward that start line, literally with two hands, one from the south and one from the north.

奥利弗·巴顿 (Oliver Patton)，第 106 步兵团少尉：德国突出部——被逼入盟军防线、美军防线——有一条起跑线，而我们实际上是用两只手将他们推回起跑线，一只手从南边，一只手从北边。

And on the 16th at Houffalize, those two hands joined.

16 日，在胡法利兹，两只手走到了一起。

So you had rejoined-- you now had a solid American front, but it still had to go 10 or a dozen miles to win back to the German start line.

所以你重新加入了——你现在有了一个坚固的美国战线，但它仍然需要走十或十几英里才能赢回德国的起跑线。

David McCullough : [voice-over] The day after Houffalize was taken, Patton congratulated his corps commanders on their victory at the Battle of the Bulge, but whatever the papers said, this fight was not over.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音] 占领胡法利兹后的第二天，巴顿祝贺他的军指挥官在突出部战役中取得了胜利，但无论报纸怎么说，这场战斗还没有结束。

It would take two weeks to go the last 10 miles.

The men at the front were getting almost no replacements.

前线的人几乎没有找到替代者。

Platoons of 40 had been ground down to eight or 10.

40 人的排已被削减至 8 或 10 人。

Still, the command ordered them to turn and fight their way east.

尽管如此，命令还是命令他们掉头向东杀去。

Bob Conroy, Private, 75th Infantry : And so the fellows-- there were a hell of a lot less of them and they were in terrible shape.

鲍勃·康罗伊（Bob Conroy），第 75 步兵团二等兵：所以，这些家伙——他们的数量少得多，而且他们的状况很糟糕。

A Boston guy, McCarthy, was suffering from both dysentery and upset stomach and he was throwing up-- he was working both ends and he got awfully weak.

波士顿人麦卡锡患有痢疾和胃部不适，他一直在呕吐——他的两端都在工作，他变得非常虚弱。

And the one attack they went into, he was the sergeant.

He passed out right in the middle of the attack.

His guys took him over to a haystack, pulled it apart, put him in it, packed him down to keep him from freezing, finished off the attack and came back and got him later on.

他的手下把他带到一个干草堆上，把他拆开，把他放进去，把他包起来以防他被冻住，结束了袭击，然后回来抓到了他。

It was very tough.

这非常艰难。

They wouldn't send him back.

他们不会把他送回去。

He tried to go back.

他试图回去。

Nothing sent you back except big holes or death.

除了大洞或死亡，没有什么能让你回来。

David McCullough : [voice-over] ''The first quality of a soldier,'' Napoleon said, ''is constancy in enduring fatigue and hardship.

Courage is only second.'' In the final stages of the Battle of the Bulge, the men on both sides were spent.

Their armies' resources dwindled.

All that was left was survival of the most primitive kind.

剩下的只是最原始的生存。

The German troops were in tatters, but they kept fighting.

德军虽然已是破烂不堪，但仍坚持战斗。

If they tried to surrender, they'd likely be shot.

如果他们试图投降，他们很可能会被枪杀。

German dead were left to freeze where they fell.

德国死者被留在原地冻结。

Past the point of pity, American soldiers sat on them like logs to eat their rations.

On the 22nd of January, Patton called Bradley and urged that all armies attack, whether they were fatigued or had losses or not.

1月22日，巴顿打电话给布拉德利，敦促所有军队发起进攻，无论他们是否疲惫不堪或是否遭受损失。

Blood was so short that American field hospitals had to bleed healthy enlisted men.

血液短缺，美国野战医院不得不为健康的士兵抽血。

Penicillin was recycled from urine.

青霉素是从尿液中回收的。

The instructions to the doctors never changed.

对医生的指示从未改变。

Throughout that fall and winter, they salvaged anyone they could and shipped them back to the front.

Ben Kimmelman, Captain, 28th Infantry : Men who were wounded and were redeemable were in a very bad position.

There was a kind of a merciless rule about sending them back in if they're able to go.

And as far as they could tell, it would be repeatedly if they weren't killed or so badly wounded that they were destroyed.

据他们所知，如果他们没有被杀或受重伤而被摧毁，这种情况就会反复发生。

It's very hard to forget the expressions on their faces.

They have a kind of a hollow-eyed, lifeless, slack-jawed expression, and they almost don't see you as you go by.

And you don't-- after a while, you learn not to greet them because their minds are elsewhere.

但你不会——过了一段时间，你就学会了不去问候他们，因为他们的心思在别处。

It's almost as though they're going to a hopeless doom and there's a phrase for these men.

就好像他们即将走向绝望的厄运，有一个词专门形容这些人。

They were called ''rag men.'' These were infantrymen or infantry medics or such, going back up to a hopeless future or no future, and having no choice in the matter, determined, and their practice march and their practice step is, as always, back up where they must go.

他们被称为“破布人”。这些人是步兵或步兵军医之类的人，他们回到了无望的未来或没有未来，在这件事上别无选择，下定决心，他们的练习行军和他们的练习步骤一如既往，回到他们必须去的地方。

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : It just looked almost endless, like you were going to be there the rest of your life.

If you were wounded, you could be out of it for a while.

At least that was time that you'd be back in a hospital and could warm up and get something to eat and be able to take a bath and that sort of thing.

至少那是你回到医院的时间，可以热身、吃点东西、洗澡等等。

But then you knew that you had to go back up.

但后来你知道你必须回去。

Bob Conroy, Private, 75th Infantry : If you're lucky, it's going to be a leg wound.

If you're not lucky, it'll be worse.

如果运气不好的话，情况会更糟。

And if you're very, very lucky, you'll take it through the head, because after you're in combat a while, dying is a lot easier than living.

如果你非常非常幸运，你会很伤心，因为在战斗一段时间后，死亡比活着容易得多。

A friend of mine, Ollie, he fell into a depression in the ground -- it hardly qualified as a foxhole -- and we were both numb, absolutely numb with exhaustion.

我的一个朋友，奥利，他掉进了地上的一个洼地里——它很难算得上是一个散兵坑——我们都麻木了，完全因为精疲力尽而麻木了。

And all he could say for about 24 hours a day was, ''We got to shoot ourselves.

他每天大约 24 小时只能说：“我们必须开枪自杀。”

We got to take a bullet through our arm or our leg or somewhere.

我们必须让子弹穿过我们的手臂、腿或其他地方。

We get out of here 'cause we're never going to make it.'' He said, ''We're just never going to make it.''

我们离开这里是因为我们永远无法成功。”他说，“我们永远无法成功。”

And what happened to me is my stomach started to curl up as if I was going to start to cry, and I was afraid I was cracking up.

When the enemy's 500 yards away and you got support troops behind you and you're sitting there in a hole with a guy who wants to shoot himself and you're ready to cry?

当敌人在 500 码外，你身后有支援部队，而你和一个想要开枪自杀的人坐在一个洞里时，你准备好哭泣了吗？

It's not normal, and the other fellow's already cracked.

这不正常，对方已经崩溃了。

Narrator : [War Department Film Bulletin] For every four men wounded, one soldier will become a psychiatric casualty.

旁白：[战争部电影简报] 每四名士兵受伤，就有一名士兵成为精神科伤员。

Such men may be shaking or crying, but more often they are just very tired and dirty and depressed.

They are unnerved and have no initiative.

他们缺乏勇气，没有主动性。

They're not quitters, but are truly ill.

他们不是放弃者，而是真的病了。

1st Medic : So, soldier, what's your trouble?

军医一号：那么，士兵，你有什么问题吗？

Soldier : I can't stand seeing people killed.

士兵：我无法忍受看到人们被杀。

1st Medic : What, in particular?

第一医生：特别是什么？

What, in particular?

特别是什么？

Soldier : Dead people.

士兵：死人。

Can't stand seeing them.

无法忍受看到他们。

Soldier : Can't stand seeing dead people.

士兵：无法忍受看到死人。

Ben Kimmelman, Captain, 28th Infantry : People who were not necessarily severely wounded but who were no longer in charge of themselves, they would put them in a detachment or an installation to put them through a kind of a very quick and dirty process in which they were given sodium amytal or one of these other-- it's a sort of a truth serum-thing, but it was in the form of tablets.

本·金梅尔曼，第 28 步兵团上尉：那些不一定受了重伤但不再能控制自己的人，他们会把他们安置在一个分遣队或一个设施中，让他们经历一种非常快速和肮脏的过程，在这个过程中他们会被给予阿米妥钠或其他药物——这是一种吐真剂的东西，但它是以药片的形式存在的。

And this would give them a very deep, deep sleep, sort of almost a trance-like sleep for 24, sometimes or 48 hours.

这会让他们进入非常非常深的睡眠，几乎是一种恍惚的睡眠，持续 24 小时，有时甚至 48 小时。

During this time, the enlisted men and myself would sometimes go by.

这段时间，我和士兵们有时会经过。

We had to supervise it, because there'd be screaming and they would be deep, deep asleep and there'd be terrible expressions of their fear and their fright.

我们必须监督它，因为他们会尖叫，他们会睡得很沉，他们会表现出可怕的恐惧和恐惧。

2nd Medic : You're back on the battlefield now.

第二军医：你现在回到战场了。

Watch out, those shells are coming.

小心，那些炮弹来了。

Watch out!

当心！

Duck!

鸭子！

Ben Kimmelman, Captain, 28th Infantry : The assumptions were that this would have some kind of cathartic effect, the sodium amytal, which the men called ''blue 88's.'' You know, the most effective artillery piece of the Germans was the 88 and this was ''blue 88's,'' because the sodium amytal was a blue tablet.

本·金梅尔曼，第 28 步兵团上尉：我们的假设是，这会产生某种宣泄作用，阿米妥钠，人们称之为“蓝色 88”。你知道，德国人最有效的火炮是 88，这是“蓝色 88”，因为阿米妥钠是一种蓝色药片。

And then they would-- they would come out of this in, depending on the dosage, 24, 48, 72 hours, and they'd be walking around, completely numb.

然后他们会——根据剂量的不同，24、48、72小时后他们就会摆脱这种状态，然后他们会四处走动，完全麻木。

Sometimes they would be slipping and falling.

有时他们会滑倒。

That took a few more hours.

这又花了几个小时。

And then they would be given a shower, new clothes and a pep talk and the attempt was made to send them back.

然后他们会被洗个澡，换上新衣服，听听鼓舞士气的话，然后就会试图把他们送回来。

I say the attempt because it didn't always succeed.

我说尝试是因为它并不总是成功。

They weren't suitable to be returned.

他们不适合被遣返。

And in a sense, the thing that repelled me so badly was that you were talking to men who weren't quite yet still in charge of themselves and you were sort of shepherding them back to the front.

从某种意义上说，最让我反感的事情是，你正在和那些还不能完全掌控自己的人交谈，而你却在某种程度上引导他们回到前线。

And one time, the chief of staff asked me to go out and talk to them.

有一次，参谋长让我出去跟他们谈谈。

He said, ''You're good at that, you go out and talk.'' I said, ''Colonel, I really don't want to do it.'' He said, ''I know, Ben.'' He said, ''Do it, anyhow.'' And I went out and I tried haphazardly to try to get them-- to persuade them to get in the trucks and go back.

他说，“你很擅长，你出去谈谈。”我说，“上校，我真的不想这样做。”他说，“我知道，本。”他说，“无论如何，做吧。”然后我出去了，我随意地试图让他们——说服他们上卡车然后回去。

They'd finished with their 72 hours, they'd gotten their clothes, and they just looked at me.

他们的 72 小时结束了，他们拿到了衣服，他们只是看着我。

And half of them looked as if they couldn't focus.

其中一半人看起来好像无法集中注意力。

And finally one of them said, ''Don't you guys understand?

最后其中一个人说道：“你们难道不明白吗？”

If you can still walk and see, they'll keep shipping you back.'' So I didn't do that again, and I told my commanding officer I wouldn't.

如果你还能走路看到，他们会继续把你送回来。”所以我没有再这样做，我告诉我的指挥官我不会。

David McCullough : [voice-over] In the last few days of January, American troops made their way back to the original lines, the ones they'd held before the German offensive began.

大卫·麦卡洛：[画外音]在一月份的最后几天，美国军队回到了原来的防线，也就是德军进攻开始之前他们所占领的防线。

The books on the Battle of the Bulge were closed.

有关突出部战役的书籍已被关闭。

Sixteen thousand Americans had been killed, 60,000 more wounded or captured.

一万六千名美国人被杀，六万人受伤或被俘。

German casualties were said to be twice that.

据说德国的伤亡人数是这个数字的两倍。

There was no ceremony to mark the end of the battle, not even a headline.

The GI's simply kept moving forward into Germany.

大兵只是继续前进到德国。

Chet Hansen, Major, Aide to General Omar Bradley : The Battle of the Bulge would be remembered as the great surprise of the campaign in Europe.

切特·汉森少校，奥马尔·布拉德利将军的助手：突出部之战将被视为欧洲战役的巨大惊喜。

I think General Bradley would hold that it speeded the end of the war, because the German took so many casualties and when he was as severely defeated as he was in the Battle of the Bulge, it helped end the thing by May.

我认为布拉德利将军会认为它加速了战争的结束，因为德国人伤亡惨重，而当他像在突出部战役中那样惨败时，这有助于在五月份结束战争。

An intelligence failure?

情报失败？

Certainly, we didn't know he was coming.

当然，我们不知道他会来。

When you look back on the record now, you can say, ''Hey, you should have seen this,'' or ''You should have seen that or anticipated it.'' I don't think anyone did.

当你现在回顾记录时，你可以说，“嘿，你应该看到这个，”或“你应该看到那个或预料到它。”我认为没有人这样做。

Guy Franz Arend, "Nuts" Museum, Bastogne : [through interpreter] When we started to make our way back into the Ardennes, it was something quite amazing.

Guy Franz Arend，巴斯托涅“坚果”博物馆：[通过翻译]当我们开始返回阿登地区时，这是一件非常令人惊奇的事情。

Emerging from the snow, the white, were two things: houses that were destroyed because the villages were practically destroyed, and huge black holes, vast numbers of them in the fields.

白色的雪中出现了两种东西：被摧毁的房屋，因为村庄几乎被摧毁了，以及巨大的黑洞，其中大量黑洞位于田野中。

It was an apocalyptic landscape.

这是一个世界末日般的景象。

Really, a madman wouldn't have been able to imagine such a landscape.

真的，一个疯子都无法想象这样的景象。

Josef Scheer : [through interpreter] People had been buried, but very summarily, because in winter everything was frozen.

约瑟夫·谢尔（Josef Scheer）：[通过翻译]人们被埋葬了，但是非常简单，因为冬天一切都被冻结了。

It was frightening, and our parents, of course, tried to keep us from those places.

这太可怕了，我们的父母当然试图阻止我们去那些地方。

Still, they were everywhere, these bodies half-buried.

It was two or three years before they managed to find the bodies of all the soldiers that had fallen.

Bart Hagerman, Private, 17th Airborne : Every time it snows or something, I'll think about those days during the Bulge.

巴特·哈格曼（Bart Hagerman），第 17 空降师，二等兵：每次下雪什么的，我都会想起在突出部的那些日子。

It brings back memories of the friends that I lost and the desperate feeling that we had in those days, and it kind of irks me that, after 50 years, I still think that way.

它让我回想起失去的朋友和那些日子里我们的绝望感觉，让我感到有点恼火的是，50年后我仍然这么想。

I should forget it and go on about my life, but I guess it made such an impression.

我应该忘记它并继续我的生活，但我想它给人留下了这样的印象。

Well, it'll always be with me, I guess.

好吧，我想它会永远伴随着我。

Bob Conroy, Private, 75th Infantry : These memories are there a lot more vividly, even after 50 years, than probably what I did yesterday.

I can tell you how deep the snow was.

我可以告诉你雪有多深。

I can tell you the color of the snow and the blood the next morning.

第二天早上我可以告诉你雪和血的颜色。

I know what equipment I had on.

我知道我有什么装备。

I know the words that we said.

我知道我们说的话。

They stay with you.

他们和你在一起。

Ed Stewart, Sergeant, 84th Infantry : It doesn't go away.

Ed Stewart，第 84 步兵团中士：它不会消失。

It sleeps sometimes, but then it awakens you again.

它有时会睡觉，但随后它会再次唤醒您。

Things are happening, people are doing things that you never dreamed you'd ever see or hear about.

事情正在发生，人们正在做你从未梦想过看到或听到过的事情。

It's an enormity of an experience, and everything after that has been a footnote.

这是一次巨大的经历，之后的一切都只是脚注。

Perhaps the most notorious figure of the 20th century, Adolf Hitler was the leader of the German Nazi (National Socialist German Workers') party and eventually became dictator over all of Germany.
