1
It's a cold, chilly morning on October 10th, 1943.
2
Pilot Robert Rosie Rosenthal arrives at today's briefing, joining 60 other pilots and navigators from the 100th Bombroom.
3
Among them is his co-pilot Winifred Pappy Lewis and his navigator Ronald Bailey.
4
Alright, let's get this over with.
5
Light!
6
Your target today is Munster.
7
So far our targets have been factories.
8
But not this time.
9
Today the game point is the Old Town Cathedral.
10
Murmurs and shocked faces spread across the meeting room.
11
Lewis and Bailey share a stunned look.
12
Yes!
13
Towards the front, 100th Bomb Group leader Major John Egan cheers the news.
14
Many of the men, including Egan, have lost close friends on previous missions.
15
The pain of their loss means that some of the men consider such a mission right for revenge.
16
Fuel pressure, oil pressure.
17
Is this good?
18
Munster is home to a large proportion of railway workers.
19
They are crucial for the German war effort.
20
We're going to be there right in time for the Sunday Mass.
21
I don't know how I feel about it.
22
Come on, Pappy.
23
You know it's our duty.
24
One by one, the B-17s of the 100th bomb group rise into the air.
25
The Royal Flush takes up her position at the very back of the formation, a position that everyone aboard is well aware is particularly exposed and dangerous,
26
but dwelling on it helps no one.
27
But it's not going to be any milk run.
28
Intelligence reports over 500 fighters ready to intercept along our path.
29
You can also expect extremely heavy flak over the target.
30
You'll be part of a 274 bomber formation.
31
Major Egan will be the commanding pilot of the group.
32
Right ahead.
33
Engines low on power, returning to base.
34
Egan, another one left.
35
Dammit, radio put that in the log.
36
There's another one gone back.
37
Lucky SOBs.
38
To ease the burden on your attack, you'll have 216 P-47 Thunderbolt escorts.
39
They'll catch up over Holland and protect you along the entire mission.
40
The Armada flies over Holland and into Germany.
41
They are now absolutely and without a doubt over enemy territory.
42
Where's our fighters?
43
Gunners, do you see any allied fighters in the distance?
44
Negative.
45
Nothing on our six.
46
Nothing.
47
Left waist, clear.
48
They aren't coming, are they?
49
They'd already be here if they were.
50
Well, maybe they're late and they'll catch up.
51
But unbeknownst to the crews, they aren't just late.
52
There are no fighters.
53
The weather on their bases didn't allow them to take off, and their absence leaves the bombers even more vulnerable.
54
But escorts or not, they've got no choice but to press forward.
55
As they venture deeper into enemy territory, more reports of attacks come in.
56
Isolated groups of fighters launching attacks further up the formation and claiming a handful of B-17s.
57
Keep your eyes peeled, everyone.
58
Pilots, do you see this?
59
A cloud of fighters appears in the distance.
60
The interceptors have arrived.
61
Good luck.
62
I'll see you all in a couple of hours.
63
Open fire!
64
Show them what we've got!
65
In a blur, a swarm of ME-109s and FW-190s cut through the formation.
66
The guns from the fortresses come alive, filling the air with tracers as the German fighters fire their deadly 20mm guns.
67
They're coming your way Stanley.
68
Moments later, ME 110s appear from the rear, sweeping in and firing rockets all around.
69
Then get back to the guns!
70
The sky is filled with a confusing mess of fighters and lead.
71
The big fortresses are soaking up shell after shell, while the enemy fighters go down in flames.
72
A rocket strikes the lead B-17 of the 100th bomb group, Mademoiselle Zigzag piloted by Major Egan.
73
Two of their engines are lost and a gash is opened on the fuselage.
74
Jam it, jam it!
75
We're losing power!
76
There's nothing Egan can do as his bomber struggles and finally fails to keep up with the formation.
77
Slowly the gap opens up more and more, isolating them.
78
We can't keep up.
79
Tell our men to leave us behind.
80
Radio is gone.
81
We have no contact.
82
Unaware of the Mamazal zigzag's predicament, the bombers directly behind also slow and drop altitude to maintain formation,
83
which leads to those behind also doing the same.
84
It's a catastrophic chain reaction.
85
Two more coming in, two o'clock!
86
At first, no one realizes.
87
They're too focused on the battle to notice, but soon, the growing gap between their formation becomes obvious.
88
We're falling behind.
89
Why?
90
We're getting dangerously isolated.
91
Speed up!
92
Leader, do you copy?
93
Egan?
94
Confusion spreads, and the pilots are faced with an impossible decision.
95
Do they remain in a small formation with their brothers in arms
96
or do they leave them behind and charge for the bigger one?
97
Two of the 100th Bomb Group's Flying Fortresses take the plunge, pushing their throttles to full and racing for the bigger group.
98
On board the Royal Flush, all the way at the very back, the two pilots are caught up in the confusion.
99
The formation is breaking apart, we're falling behind.
100
Nothing we can do.
101
If we break the gap, every German is going to fall on us.
102
They decide to stay.
103
The Germans very quickly notice the isolated group of 11 B-17s and pounce upon their prey.
104
Damage is rapidly building up.
105
Multiple B-17s are trailing smoke as the machine gunners are completely overwhelmed.
106
The men of the Royal Flush can only watch as an FW-190 sweeps in
107
and strikes one of their compatriots on the wing.
108
It triggers a massive fireball.
109
Their friends bail for their lives before the bomber finally loses control and explodes into a million pieces.
110
Soon after, a second B-17 catches fire after being hit by multiple 20mm rounds.
111
We're dropping like flies!
112
We're three minutes out!
113
We're three minutes out!
114
Another B-17 is lit up by fighters, tearing its wings and fuselage to pieces.
115
Fearing the incoming flak, the pilot turns away from the formation and heads for home on its own. Where are you going?
116
But it only attracts the fighters.
117
They swarm all around it.
118
They tear it to shreds, but they leave it still flying to focus on the formation that's still headed for the city.
119
The fighters turn their attention to Major Egan in the Mamozel Zigzag.
120
Relentless attacks destroy critical systems one after the other, making the fortress harder and harder to control.
121
Fighting their sticks, Egan realizes they're done for.
122
Get out of here!
123
Fail!
124
Fail!
125
The crew starts jumping off, but the co-pilot stays, helping Egan keep the aircraft steady for their men.
126
As soon as they're gone, pilot John Brady and Major Egan move to jump out of the bomb bay.
127
Go ahead Brady, as I'm a senior man!
128
No, you go ahead!
129
But then a fighter comes in from above and opens fire.
130
New bullet holes appear across the bomb bay door.
131
I'll be seeing you Brady!
132
Egan jumps first, followed by Brady.
133
They both make it out.
134
Back with the Royal Flush, the gunners are fighting for their lives while Rosenthal and Lewis resist the urge to run,
135
holding position as they're forced to watch the other B-17s fall one by one.
136
But outside, a fighter lines up a shot.
137
He fires a flurry of rockets at the Royal Flush.
138
One strikes directly on the wing, punching a massive hole and instantly taking out two engines.
139
— Fender it!
140
— Bailey, outboard to the target.
141
Just a little more.
142
We're almost there.
143
The German fighters turn away, fully knowing what the B-17s are heading towards.
144
The tornado of fighters gives way to a flurry of flak.
145
With the rest of the formation already gone, every gun in the city is now focused on the three surviving bombers.
146
Hold on boys, we'll get through this.
147
The flak shreds the remaining aircraft.
148
Another one is down Rosie!
149
One of them is set on fire and is forced to drop their bombs early before bailing from the flaming flying wreck.
150
We're here!
151
Autopilot on, bombardier, it's your plane.
152
Roger pilot.
153
The control of the aircraft is given to the bombardier.
154
Bomb bay, doors open.
155
The aim point approaching painfully slowly.
156
Almost there.
157
Damn it!
158
The second to last B-17 is struck directly and bursts into a ball of flame.
159
It slowly banks over and falls away, disintegrating all the way down.
160
The Royal Flush is the last one standing.
161
Bombs out, pilot.
162
The plane is all yours.
163
Immediately, Rosenthal retakes control and maneuvers to avoid the flak.
164
Let's get out of here.
165
They escape the city airspace limping with just two engines and heavy damage. Where is everyone?
166
Bench, it's six o'clock!
167
Multiple German aircraft appear from the clouds.
168
Gunners from the Royal Flush open fire, but all alone they're sitting ducks.
169
Make sure you have enough ammo.
170
Hold on, everyone!
171
In desperation, Rosenthal throws all bomber piloting wisdom out of the window and breaks into evasive maneuvers.
172
The waste gunners hold on for dear life as the B-17 turns left and right.
173
They open fire for a split second before the bomber banks hard underneath them.
174
Four FW-190s pull up on the 6th of the Royal Flush.
175
Chasing the B-17 across the sky, Really?
176
They're coming your way!
177
Rear gunner Sergeant Bill de Blasio aims at the 2nd from his left and fires bursts of bullets his way.
178
On the 3rd he scores a critical hit, a critical hit, shearing its left wing clean off and making it crash into his wingman, taking both aircraft out of the sky.
179
He immediately switches to the next fighter, striking it on the engine and breaking off its canopy.
180
The last fighter peels away, fleeing from de Blasio's deadly aim.
181
But the Germans are far from done.
182
Six more aircraft line up behind the bomber.
183
De Blasio opens fire as the twin-engined fighters unleash their rockets.
184
Trails of smoke fire off from the fighters, flying all around de Blasio.
185
Miraculously, none hit.
186
He fires back, aiming at one of them.
187
The .50 caliber guns rip through the German fighter setting it alight.
188
The rest of the enemies open fire in return,
189
unleashing a storm of lead that explodes against and punches clean through the bombers fuselage.
190
Two waste gunners are struck by the shrapnel and fall onto the aircraft's floor in pain.
191
Schaefer looks bad.
192
Their screams for help sound on the radio while de Blasio fires with all he has.
193
Fire in his eyes.
194
He aims across the entire formation, changing from target to target.
195
His bullets impact two of the 190s, making them lose control and crash into one another.
196
Not long after by sheer luck, the remaining German fighters turn away, limited by fuel.
197
They're turning away.
198
We're clear?
199
Suddenly, the skies fall to a calm and the Royal Flush is still in the air.
200
The sky is clear, they're gone.
201
Somebody check on the waste gunners.
202
Radio operator Michael Bacchuzzi abandons his post
203
and rushes to the waist of the aircraft where the two gunners are on the floor and in pain.
204
Man, I've got you.
205
Talk to me, Schaefer.
206
You'll be okay, I promise.
207
Can we make it back?
208
We're losing altitude, we need to shed some weight.
209
Gentlemen, we need to get rid of everything that isn't bolted down Hey, quick!
210
The crew get to work.
211
They throw overboard absolutely everything that isn't needed.
212
Guns, ammunition, oxygen tanks, everything.
213
We ditched everything.
214
Is it enough? Is it enough, Rosie?
215
I don't know, Pappy.
216
Maybe.
217
Back at Thorpe Abbott's, mechanics and officers watch the skies waiting anxiously.
218
The scheduled time of arrival has already come and gone.
219
The other bomber groups have already returned, but nothing has been heard of the 100th.
220
Then, in the distance, a single B-17 appears low over the horizon.
221
Smoking and barely flying, the Royal Flush lowers its landing gear,
222
drifts in and touches down upon the runway.
223
The gathered men watch and shot as a badly wounded aircraft comes to a stop.
224
It rolls off the runway and cuts its engines. and cuts its engines.
225
The silence is deafening.
226
They are the only ones from the 100th to return.
227
Medics rush to their aid while the crew piles out onto the grass.
228
There's no celebration, hardly any relief.
229
The reality of what's just happened sinks in.
230
The raid was one of the worst disasters of the 8th Air Force's history.
231
The 100th bomber group was the one that suffered most, earning it the nickname of the Bloody Hundredth.
232
Of the 130 men in the shot down aircraft, 37 were killed and 93 would become prisoners of war.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
