- | == Биография ==
| + | |
- | <!--
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===Surviving the concentration camp===
| + | |
- | Sid Shachnow was born in [[Kaunas]], [[Lithuania]] in 1934. At the age of seven, Shachnow was imprisoned in the brutal [[Kovno]] [[Nazi concentration camps|concentration camp]] during [[World War II]] because his family was Jewish. For three years he endured countless brutalities in the camp and was forced to watch helplessly as almost every single one of his extended family were slaughtered. To increase his prospects of survival, young Shachnow performed heavy manual labor under harsh conditions. He narrowly escaped death only days before Kovno's gruesome "Children's Action", of March 27–28, 1944, when Nazi troops rounded-up all children in the camp and marched them to The [[Ninth Fort]] for execution or to [[Auschwitz]] to be gassed. After smuggling out of the camp, Shachnow lived in hiding for months, mostly in austere seclusion, where he nearly expired from starvation and malnutrition. Shachnow fled west after the Soviets liberated Kovno from the Nazis and began to implement Communism. His grueling 2,000 mile, six month journey across Europe, mostly on foot, took him across Lithuania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Austria, and finally to American occupied [[Nuremberg, Germany]] where he hoped to obtain a visa to the United States. To make a living in war-torn Nuremberg, Shachnow resorted to pirating black market contraband such as pantyhose and chocolate.

- | ===A new life in the new world===
| + | |
- | In 1950, Shachnow finally obtained a visa and immigrated to [[Salem, Massachusetts]] where he attended school for the first time in his life. After working his way through high school he enlisted in the U.S. Army. As a Sergeant First Class he entered [[Officer Candidate School (U.S. Army)|Officer Candidate School]] and received his commission in the U.S. [[Infantry]].
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===Special Forces===
| + | |
- | In 1962 he volunteered for the [[United States Army Special Forces]], also known as the "Green Berets" where he served for the next thirty-two years. After joining special forces, Shachnow was promoted to Captain and assigned as Commander of Detachment A-121, at Vietnam's An Long Camp near the Cambodian border along the Mekong River.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===After Vietnam===
| + | |
- | In the 1970s he served as Commander of Det-A, Berlin Brigade, a clandestine unit of cold war Green Beret commandos on high alert 24-hours a day. This covert unit was made up of selectively trained and language qualified members of Special Forces, as well as many Eastern European immigrants who brought much needed culture, geographical and language skills to the assignment. Their missions were classified; they dressed in civilian clothing made in East and West Germany, and carried appropriate non-American documentation and identification later, many of its members went on to help form [[Delta Force]] (Det A did not itself become Delta Force). Shachnow's status grew as Special Forces grew, rising to the rank of Major General, receiving both a masters and an honorary doctoral degree along the way. He traveled the world, from Vietnam to the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Korea and back to Germany for the fall of the Berlin Wall.
