Pointe du Hoc
by LoriPori
The symbol of the gallantry of the young American soldiers and one of the strongpoints of the German fortifications, the famous POINTE DU HOC was taken by storm by Colonel Rudder's Rangers on the morning of June 6th, 1944.
All is peaceful now, but you can just imagine how horrific it really was on that day.
In this photo, the sea is top left, where several hundred Rangers were brought in and managed to capture the fortified position at the Pointe du Hoc, after a particularly daring assault.
