In the fall of 1944, U.S.

Army medic Anthony Tony Acevedo was sent to fight in Europe during World War II.

He served in the 275th Infantry Regiment, 70th Infantry Division, known as the Trailblazers.

In freezing temperatures and heavy snow, along with 600,000 fellow Americans, he faced a ferocious German offensive in the Battle of the Bulge.

During the brutal six-week battle between December 1944 and January 1945, tens of thousands were killed or wounded.

It was Tony's first combat experience, and he bravely tended to the wounded under machine gun fire.

We went to battle and on my assignment, I headed with Company B and I just followed.

I carried my duffel bag and all my equipment with me and

everybody used to laugh at me and yell at me and say, Anthony, drop that, drop all that stuff.

They're gonna kill you.

You're a sore thumb, you.

I said, no, this is, that's gonna save my life.

We were marching towards a ridge and I heard an echo.

Medic!

Because there were machine guns going on back and forth

and I was carrying my stuff with me so finally I picked up the sound and I started to head downhill.

Then I saw up ahead a cave with Germans.

Well, there were about six Germans in there with machine guns.

I mean just you thought there were thousands of them.

and at that time when they start shooting at me, my stuff went up in the air, my duffel bag and everything.

I fell on the ground and crawled to my helmet.

And before I knew it, I was with the fellas that were wounded.

I had my prayer book with me and I would use some phrases that wouldn't be too long, but enough for that person,

that soldier, to motivate him, make him feel motivated, feel free of fear.

That's what he was.

He was afraid.

The Germans were getting closer and closer.

We ran out of ammunition until finally we were caught when the Germans came up the hill and we had to surrender.

When the Germans took us, they forced us to get our boots off and walk down the slope barefooted in the snow.

It was up to our waist and marched for about almost a mile to the trucks.

They were sent to Stalag 9B, a camp for prisoners of war near Bad Orb, Germany.

Tony became prisoner number 27016.

Conditions in the crowded camp were terrible.

Tony used the limited medical supplies that he had managed to save in order to treat the sick and wounded.

In January 1945, German officers began identifying and separating Jewish POWs

and those whom they believed to be Jews from the rest of the American soldiers.

Tony was also separated, perhaps because he was Mexican-American.

The newly separated group, including Tony, were then transported to Berga under Elster, a forced labor camp in Germany.

Much like the conditions in the prisoner of war camp, food was scarce and prisoners were given little sustenance for the hard days of forced labor.

The bread was a mix of barley with sawdust, ground glass and ground sand.

It would make you sick to the stomach.

Disease and malnutrition would soon plague the American prisoners.

On one occasion we received a package, a Red Cross package, and that's how I got my diary.

Throughout his time in the camp, Tony kept a secret diary of his experiences.

He wrote in it nearly every day.

In it, he recorded how his group were forced to clear tunnels to make way for an underground factory

that Nazi officials hoped would be out of sight of Allied bombers.

March 21, 1945.

More planes came over today.

Their bombs were dropped not very far from here.

Another one of our boys is pretty low today.

He's not expected to live to light.

April 3rd, 1945.

Excellent news today.

Americans are only a hundred kilometers from here.

Rumors are that we are to be moved away.

When the Nazi guards realized that the American troops were closing in, they evacuated the POWs from Berga on a forced march.

April 9th, 1945.

We marched 10 kilometers today.

We started out with 304 men.

Now we have 287.

April 20th to 22nd, 1945.

Day and night, it rained.

Every man was wet from top to bottom.

Every 25 yards there lay three or four men.

Men that couldn't make the march had to drop out.

They were shot.

April 23, 1945.

We were liberated today.

Of the 350 American POWs at Berga under Elster, approximately 70 died.

Most of them died or were executed during the forced evacuation of the camp.

Tony's fountain pen miraculously endured his imprisonment.

It allowed him to secretly document his first-hand account of life as an American prisoner of war in Germany,

and would bear witness to the dates and causes of his fellow soldiers' deaths.

This was, he explained, his moral obligation.

God gave me that ink to last.

Thank you.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
